The Houston Astros have won the 2022 World Series four games to two over the Philadelphia Phillies … and Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale has cashed in on his large Astros futures.
The Astros entered the series as around a -180 favorite at sportsbooks, with the Phillies a +160 underdog.
Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale had $10 million worth of futures bets on the Astros to win the Fall Classic, which would win an estimated $75 million. The largest of these was a $3 million bet on the Astros at 10-1 odds at Caesars Sportsbook, which was placed in Louisiana back in May. He also has a $1 million wager on the Astros at WynnBet at 12-1 odds.
The estimated $75 million is the largest payout ever in legal U.S. sports betting history.
