Mattress Mack bets more than $3 million TCU will beat Georgia in CFP Championship
HOUSTON - Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale is not a stranger to making bets. He recently won $75 million in the Astros taking home the World Series trophy back in November. McIngvale is ready to make another Texas-sized bet with the TCU Horned Frog as they look to bring home a national championship.
Mattress Mack has always been a betting man and according to sources, he's placed a $1.5 million wager with DraftKings Sportsbook for Texas Christian University to beat the Georgia Bulldogs in Monday's national College Football Playoff championship title game.
SUGGESTED: Mattress Mack places $1 million bet on Houston Cougars to win NCAA tournament
It's said TCU is listed at +370 on the money line (3.7-to-1 odds). He also bet $500,000 on Caesars Sportsbook at +400 and $130,000 on WynnBet at +380. In all, he'll earn $8 million on his bets if the Horned Frogs win.
It would be the first time a Texas team won a national championship in the CFP era since its inauguration in 2014.
