Astros superfan Mattress Mack wants to bet $1 million on the Titans to beat the Chiefs
An Astros fan who lost millions betting on the 2019 World Series is looking to make another major wager.
You may remember Houston-area furniture store icon ‘Mattress Mack’ from the 2019 World Series, when he lost in excess of $13 million betting on the Astros to beat the Washington Nationals. Jim McIngvale has been making massive sports bets for years – and he’s currently looking to place another 7-figure wager on the outcome of the AFC Championship game on Sunday.
McIngvale tweeted that he’s looking for a sports book within the United States to accept a $1 million wager on the Tennessee Titans to pull off an upset at Arrowhead Stadium, at +300 odds. If a sportsbook takes up McIngvale’s offer, he would could win a cool $3 million if the Titans were to win.
Per BetMGM, the Titans are currently listed as a +280 underdog on a moneyline bet, and the Chiefs are favored by 7.5 points after their come-from-behind demolition of the Texans. The Titans have already beaten the Chiefs once this season in Week 10, as Derrick Henry rushed for 188 yards and two touchdowns in a 35-32 win in Nashville. Patrick Mahomes finished the game with a season-high 446 passing yards.
