Good luck to "Mattress Mack".

[DJK]

I can’t see the books losing these bets…

That's what I was thinking too. CaesarsSports is in for a huge hook if the Bengals win.

But then, it's only Caesars who would take his bets from what I gather. Do they know something that the other books don't know?

I also read that the best scenario for the books is the Rams winning and not covering. So, if I do end up betting the Bengals on the point spread, I have only 4 point margin to win the bet? That isn't good.

His bet is bullshit, he likely wrote off the bet as marketing, or a business expense, and probably hedges on both sides.

Could be, but that's a lot of money and I think it's the biggest one he's made so far.

That could mean that the people in the Houston area believe the Bengals would win and therefore bought a boat load of furnitures from his stores expecting refunds.

[Chi_archie]

I guess Mack has money to burn.

He put another $5 million on the Bengals ML @ +170.

Either that, he sold so much furniture that he needs these hedge bets to cover the possible refunds.

yeah i'd love to learn some more info and depth on how much furniture he typically sells per time frame and how it changes with his promotions and how he fluctuates the pricing

9.2 milly

I just saw this and if it's true and it holds up by the game time, then Mack has a chance to win his bets and he's going to make a TON of people very happy in Houston. Good karma I would say as he supposedly helps out a lot with the needy.


Even with @MattressMack's $9.5 million on the Bengals, @CaesarsSports still has attracted more money on the Rams' moneyline. Sportsbooks dropped the point spread to Rams -3.5 and lowered the moneyline as well yesterday and attracted a lot of LA action.

Matress Mack put all his money in one basket. He bet everything on the Bengals ML and when the Rams win with a FG as time expires he would be the laughing stock of all the book managers.

[DJK]

After reading two more tweets, I'm getting very skeptical, but who the heck knows.

Replying to @DavidPurdum @MattressMack and @CaesarsSports
You’re telling me that it was 82% percent money on Bengals money line 2 days ago and Mack puts another 5 million on them and some how Rams are now getting more money?


David Payne Purdum@DavidPurdum·5h
Yep, they keep talking about how much Rams action they got yesterday when they dropped line to -3.5 and trimmed the money-line too.

Not if he sold so much furniture and his profit from the sales offsets his loss on the Bengals bet.

The way I see it, if the Bengals win then it's going to make a LOT of people VERY HAPPY.

Imagine how many of them are pulling for the Bengals and how that could affect the game somehow? Good Karma if anything.

[DJK]

Like I said before, I just don't see how the whole public was betting so much on the Bengals in the last couple of days that ALL SPORTSBOOKS lowered their lines to -4 or -3.5 across the board in consensus.

It's as if they are begging the public to take the Rams knowing they won't cover.

The way I see it, they know things we don't and I know they will take a side and shade the line to push the public to the wrong side and hope that their side covers and in this case it's the Bengals. No?

In the end, it's a pot luck whichever side you take and it's going to take luck to win the bet in my opinion. Who the hell knows which way the ball will bounce. All this talk about the Rams' D-line overwhelming the Bengals' O-line isn't everything for the game.

It's all about the heart and the Bengals have it.

Now, I'm talking BS out of my ass...

[DJK]

I can only hope that these 28 biggest bets weren't by the sharps.

Interesting ...Outside of Mattress Mack's two huge bets on the Bengals ML, the 28 next-biggest wagers at @CaesarsSports for #SBLVI are on the Rams spread or Rams ML.

Have to wonder what this guy does on game day. Does he watch alone? host a party?

[GreatWallofTrump]

At his age, with that money, he could buy the hottest milk maid to milk him every night on a neverending cruise for the next 10 years.

[Bostongambler]

Maybe he has 20,000 friends and he was just putting 20 each on the game for them?

[budwiser]

Marc Lawrence said he is better off if the Rams win cause more people bought his furniture at markup and would have to pay

Do you really thick he sold 16 million of furniture on mark ups in 2 weeks? That's a lot of marked up inventory.

He needs to win his bets.

[Mac4Lyfe]

No, he probably sold about 6 million of furniture in the last couple of weeks. It's an easy hedge, great free marketing.

Oh yeah the free advertising is where he targets. But if the Bengals win he gets both free publicity and 16 million dollar win.

Very interesting, DJ.

My thinking is that the Rams were the square side for this game. IMHO, the "home-area advantage" doesn't matter much on a game like this.

[Mac4Lyfe]

He's worth half a billion. He's not sweating it.

but gives away a ton of furniture

[pavyracer]

For these rich guys prestige means more than money. He wants to win his bets to gloat like he is sharp.

The books are going to limit him though if he wins. He will wipe them out.

Mattress Mack lost a shit load of money lol

I called it first that he was greedy. Take the points old man!
