"Mattress Mack" flys to Colorado to place 3.5 million $ bet - likes Brady & the Bucs

[IDEXAN]

Houston furniture retailer Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale flew to Colorado Wednesday night and placed one of the largest Super Bowl bets ever from his mobile phone.



McIngvale wagered $3.46 million that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would cover the 3.5-point spread against the favored Kansas City Chiefs, according to DraftKings Inc., which took the bet through its mobile app. That means the Bucs must either win the game or not lose by more than 3 points for him to win a potential $2.71 million.

It's a fun way to hedge against his promotional furniture giveaway bet if the Buccs win.

He's the real winner if they cover but KC takes it. Then he doesn't owe anyone anything and he collects from draftkings.

I'm not a betting man, but if I was, I'd never bet against Tom Brady or Pat Mahomes. Just sayin'. . .

I should drop a few Tubmans on this game...

Have to give it to Mack, not only does he have a set of brass ones, but it's a pretty smart bet if it's close.

So how much did he win?

Nice to see that Mack picked up a bit of lunch money.
