The Astros are back in the World Series, which means Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale, who owns Gallery Furniture in the Houston area, has a ton of money on the line for them to win it all. Earlier this month, he told Bleacher Report's Greg Ivory that he has $10 million in bets on the Houston Astros to win the 2022 World Series.
Now the Astros are just four wins away from earning McIngvale a payout for the ages after sweeping the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series. The Astros will face off against the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2022 Fall Classic with the series set to get underway on Friday.

Isn’t this why Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson were defrocked?
“Mattress”?
They were under the employment of Major League Baseball at the time of their deeds. He has no connection as an employee to a team.
His promotion:
“When you purchase a Tempur-Pedic, Stearns & Foster or Sealy mattress sleep set priced at $3,000 or more, and if the Houston Astros win it all in the 2022 final championship series, your purchase is FREE,!” Gallery Furniture’s website read. “Join us at any Gallery Furniture showroom TODAY make your qualifying mattress purchase for the chance to get it all FREE FREE FREE!”
He owns a furniture store.
She is EXACTLY who came to my mind when I heard “Mattress” used as a middle name. Last I heard, she was making money by doing street theater based on her imaginary rape.
It’s a living.
I don’t see how he loses.
Her father must be so proud.
Okay. So he moved into retail sales and management and made a couple of commercials. Good for him.
It’s serious now. He’s gone to the mattresses.
He’s also actively campaigning for Harris County Republicans and especially to beat the corrupt Judge Lina Hidalgo.
I suspect he is a gifted man of odds of betting and or have those that are advising him. He also knows advertising. I wish him success.
Hope his bookie has the dough to pay it off.
Actually his Gallery Furniture store in Houston is the most profitable single furniture store in the country
“Isn’t this why Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson were defrocked?”
Pete Rose didn’t sell mattresses.
“Hope his bookie has the dough to pay it off.”
Bookies lay-off the bets. They win regardless of who bets what.
Right. I thought the guy was a team member.

Where is this nut case now?
