‘Mattress Mack’ doubles down, wins $12.2M on Kansas
Mattress Mack finally won big.
All it took was the biggest comeback in NCAA championship game history.
Houston furniture store owner Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale won $12.2 million Monday night on Kansas to win the national title.
The Jayhawks stormed back from a 15-point halftime deficit to beat North Carolina 72-69.
Before the Final Four, Mack wagered $5.5 million to win $10.5 million on Kansas at +190 ($3.3 million at Caesars Sportsbook and $2.25 million at Barstool Sportsbook).
“A setback is just a setup for a comeback,” said Mack, 71. “Give credit to coach (Bill) Self and Kansas. They made a serious comeback.”
The wagers were the latest in a series of hedge bets by Mack to reduce risk on promotions at his Gallery Furniture stores.
His latest promotion guaranteed customers who bought $3,000 or more of furniture their money back if a Texas team won it all. But the promo included an added wrinkle that if a Texas team didn’t make the Final Four, customers would get the team located closest to Mack’s store in Houston. That was Kansas.
Mack estimates he’ll have to refund $13 million to $15 million in sales from the promotion.
“I’m happy for the customers,” he said. “I’m sure they were despondent at halftime. But now they’re thrilled. I can’t wait to have a refund party.”Comment -

It's a brilliant promotion!
And if you are a savvy shopper you can always hedge some of your purchase buy betting some on North Carolina ML or take the +4.5 and make a profit!Last edited by pavyracer; 04-05-22, 06:29 PM.Comment
