Monday, Oct. 28 11:35 p.m. ET: The World Series was off on Monday, but “Mattress Mack,” managed to keep himself busy. The Houston native who has at least $11 million in World Series futures riding on his hometown team flew to Nevada to bet more on the Astros.
With the Astros up 3-2 and massive -800 favorites to win the series, Mack focused his attention on the Game 6 price, betting two separate times on Houston to win at William Hill, both at -172 odds:
$860,000 to profit $500,000 $430,000 to profit $250,000 Total: $1,290,000 to profit $750,000 [In New Jersey? Bet the World Series now at PointsBet]
In addition to his massive pile of futures wagers (more on that in a moment), Mack has profited quite a bit off his single-game bets. Here’s a rundown of what we’ve been able to learn:
Won $584,615 on Game 5 of the ALCS Won $456,142 on Game 3 of the World Series Won $300,000 on Game 4 of the World Series Won $133,070 on Game 5 of the World Series Add it all up and Mack has profited $1,473,827, which is more than the $1.29 million he’s risking on Game 6.

Here are all of Mack’s bets on the Astros to win the World Series (that we’ve been able to confirm):

NY going to make the call on this
Looks like game 7. Great series!
Houston and Harris County has been taken over by Rats, so I wouldn't be surprised if they would have done the same...
Lost. Big time. Game 7 baybee !
Decimal points are our friends...
The bet totals 1 POINT 2 Million, not TWELVE Million
Then folks wonder why nobody is concerned about multi-hundred million (billion?) dollar deficits
Nats won Game 6.
Hah hah hah.
Maybe tonight.
But NOT last night.
Buh-bye
No.he has many millions on the winner of the world series as insurance for a promotion
Nationals radio announcer Charlie Slowes called Soto “the Magic Juan” after the homer last night. I like that. Good nickname.
This makes me wonder about the profit margins on his mattresses. I’d stay far away from that business, personally.
You are correct, sir.
It was a great game.
I give credit to both teams.
Nats won game seven.
Over.
