Businessman Jim McIngvale earned himself the largest payout in U.S. sports betting history after he collected an estimated $75 million after the Astros topped the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 in Game 6 Saturday night.
McIngvale spread his bets across multiple sportsbooks, putting $3 million on the Astros to win the World Series at Caesars at 10/1 along with another million at WynnBet.
Later in the season he dropped $2 million at BetMGM at 5/1 with another $2 million at Barstool (+533). Finally, he spent $1 million each at Unibet and Betfred. No book will pay out more than Caesars, who takes a $30 million hit.
Caesers seemed more than fine to pay Mattress Mack his lofty prize—while taking the opportunity to advertise a few of their current offerings if he wants to double down.
