Here's one that caught the attention of the law...
Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale is licking his wounds after losing a multi-million dollar Super Bowl wager that's making national headlines. It was a bet large enough to catch the attention of Harris County investigators.
Since mid-January, the legendary Gallery Furniture owner has promised shoppers who bought at least $6,000 of furniture before Sunday's game a full refund if the Seattle Seahawks proved victorious. And after the Denver Broncos' crushing defeat, McIngvale now owes a whopping $7 million to nearly 1,000 customers.Comment -

He has plenty of money. One of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. I’m a member of his wife’s country club. They do more for this city than anyone else I can remember. You wouldn’t believe the money he shells out for people in need. These bets are basically free advertising and great promotions for customers. It’s a no brained for him as he’s hedging his bets. Smart businessman but even greater person.Originally posted by pavyracerComment -
