    He bet 4 million that Astros wouldn't win more than 63 games in 2014.

    He had to pay out $4 million worth of furniture to the first 500 customers who took
    on his bet and believed in the Astros.

    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.

    I don't understand the investigation..
    He isn't hurting anyone...
    Its not bait and switch..
    He isn't stealing or defrauding anyone..
    Its his inventory/property to do as he pleases..

    San fran+4 -120 or something but wanted -110
    MGM took his wager
    And well we all know how that turned out.

    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.

    He came to my school in 5th grade and talked about his gorilla that he owned. Good guy. He's a legend here in H-Town.
