"Mattress Mack, the alias of Houston furniture salesman Jim McIngvale, is rocking with Joe Burrow and the Bengals in the Super Bowl.
Just how confident is McIngvale in the underdog Bengals? He placed a $4.5 million bet on them to upset the Rams in Super Bowl LVI on Feb. 13 in Los Angeles.
Cincinnati is a 4.5-point underdog to Los Angeles on SI Sportsbook. But McIngvale isn’t taking the points. He likes the Bengals—two years removed from taking Burrow with the first overall pick, a reward for their 2-14 record—to win it all.
The massive wager, reportedly the single biggest mobile bet of all-time, had to be made in increments. McIngvale told ESPN, "I had to make like twenty $200,000 bets to make it work."
His big bets are related to his furniture business. He reportedly offers refunds to customers who spend large sums of money—nothing compared to his wagers, though—if his large bets hit. He stands to gain $7.7 million if the Bengals complete their miracle season with a win over the Rams."
