Mattress Mack Breaks Betting Record with Super Bowl Bet on Cincinnati Bengals

The Mattress Mack is back.

Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale placed a $4.5 million wager on the Cincinnati Bengals to win straight-up at Super Bowl 56 as a 4.5-point underdog.

If it hits, he’ll win more than $7.7 million. If he loses, he can write it off as a promotional expense. This marks the single biggest mobile wager of all-time.

Texas pay attention! @MattressMack drove across to Louisiana to bet on his mobile. Tax revenue goes to Louisiana. @CaesarsSports clearly intent on making high value customers stick with the platform- rather than spread the wealth. https://t.co/b0bRDMKFBR

If his wager hits, he’ll refund his customers’ recent purchases of at least $3,000.

His latest big bets haven’t gone exactly as planned.

He bet $3.6 million on the Astros in the 2021 World Series. He threw down more than $6 million on Alabama to win the 2022 College Football Playoff.

The Mack dropped more than $2 million on a New England Patriots futures Super Bow bet.

So yea, not great. We’ll see if the Bengals can snap the Mattress Mack curse.
