Mattress Mack returned to betting on Monday night when he bet more than $3 million on TCU to beat Georgia in the final of the College Football National Championship, however this time Mack didn’t win.
Jim ‘Mattress Mack’ McIngvale is no stranger to making absolutely huge bets on the sports he loves, as well as backing teams from the state he’s from: Texas, so it came as no surprise Monday when Mack revealed his big bet on the college championship. final.
After receiving a $75 million payout late last year for his Astros World Series bet, Mack decided to bet a relatively small (for him) sum of just over $3 million on the TCU Horned Frogs to cause an upset at the College Football Championship. end, but as always there was cheating.
I may look different, but the opportunity should look familiar! Think about the Astros promo on @GFToday, with the Frogs on Monday night. This is your chance to reward yourself with a great night’s sleep, and it just might be on us! Let’s go frogs!!

Mack has been selling his mattresses for $3,000 or more and if he won his bet on TCU, he would not only pay customers back but DOUBLE it and let them keep the mattress. Customers will have been itching to take advantage of one of Mack’s famous deals, however the risk certainly wasn’t worth it this time.
TCU was utterly beaten in the finals by a far superior Georgia Bulldogs team, who remain undefeated at the end of the season with a 15-0 record following their 65-7 win over TCU.

Mack’s exact bets on the game were $1.5 million on TCU at +370 with DraftKings, $1.5 million on TCU at +400 with Caesars Sportsbook and $130,000 on TCU at +380 with WynnBet. The 71-year-old with an estimated net worth of $300 million certainly won’t lose any sleep over the loss, though, as he’s likely seen profits from his mattress promotion as well.
The most disappointing thing about Mack’s bid is that he even made a promo video for TCU to win the finals, which obviously failed in a massive way. Watch the full video below.
