    He's been trying to get $10 million down on the Astros. I'm not sure I'd want to be in the same room with this guy tomorrow night. He might drop dead, he might make it rain thousands of dollars if the Astros win, or he could knock someone out if they lose?

        he only laid that bet to hedge himself. if you buy furniture from him (dont know the time frame) he refunds your purchase if stros win the world series. he did it last time they won he lost like 10 million. this time he hedged

                  Crazy how you're allowed to just post stuff on the internet without having any idea of what you're talking about.

                            Do you really think he sold $10 million worth of furniture in the last half year? I seriously doubt it. I think a couple years ago, he had 500 people that took his bet. That's not even close to $3.5m, $5m or whatever he bet. Hell, his net worth is like $80 million. That a huge number to bet based on your net worth.

I think a couple years ago, he had 500 people that took his bet. That's not even close to $3.5m, $5m or whatever he bet. Hell, his net worth is like $80 million. That a huge number to bet based on your net worth.
                                                        In that thought process, every $1 bet that SBR players make is a huge bet. Most gamblers on SBR or other gambling boards have negative net-worth with debts.

                                                              Dude - I live down the street from a GF. My theater room is from GF. His first Astros promotion was $5k on any furniture. This year was only on mattresses. Maybe you should walk into one of his stores before you try to flame.

                                                              With 2 locations in the Houston area, Gallery Furniture now also offers online ordering for our top-of-the-line mattresses & American-made furniture.


                                                              You do the math. He has 3 stores. Ain't no way in hell is he selling that many mattresses. Even if his markup was 100%, he's not selling that many mattresses. I spent several hours in his most popular store several months ago. He was not selling that much furniture let alone mattresses. I thought maybe he could be selling a shit load online, maybe folks in China was buying a shitload but you have to go into the store to get the promotion, so I call bullshit.

Hell, I told my wife to go in there and buy some shit but she went to the spa that day instead. haha. I still think that number may have been inflated but I definitely don't believe he's sold that many mattresses this year. Not even close. Not that we should really give a shit but somethings not adding up. He's most likely a degenerate gambler like most of us. The hell with hedging.
