I guess he's out 3.5 Million

Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale, owner of Gallery Furniture in Houston, bet $3.5 million on the Astros to win the World Series at the DraftKings sportsbook at Scarlet Pearl casino in Biloxi, Mississippi. At +220 odds, the wager would pay a net $7.7 million if the Astros win the World Series

He doesn't have to pay any refunds since they didn't win but I doubt if he got 3.5 Million in sales on the mattresses

The Astros are about to get BUSTED!!!!

Everything the Astros hitters have accomplished the past 3 seasons has to be diminished. I'm curious to see what the regular season win total will be next year. On a level playing field, it will be a whole new ballgame.

i watched the Astros play the Red Sox this year and i said they are the greatest hitting team of all time. now i know why!

Sound management of a futures book here could have guaranteed
a seven figure win on the Nationals while risking six figures on Houston.

Further tweaking could have gotten it to a no risk situation.
I'm sure the book made out well regardless of the outcome.
