Houston billionaire furniture store owner Jim McIngvale, more commonly known as "Mattress Mack," is once again putting his money where his mouth is on a Texas sports team.
The founder of the Gallery Furniture retail chain has wagers exceeding $3 million on the heavy underdog Texas Christian University (TCU) Horned Frogs in Monday night's College Football Championship Game against the Georgia Bulldogs, the defending champs.
Mattress Mack, who backed a group of Houston-area poker players this past summer at the 2022 World Series of Poker, has a penchant for making massive sports bets.
