Avoid Following The Herd When It Comes To Making Super Bowl Bets: Listen Up

Related Topics: Super Bowl, Jim McIngvale

With the expansion of legalized sports gambling combined with the Super Bowl taking place next week, you’ll likely hear a lot about all the big bets being placed across the country. One example is the news that Jim McIngvale, or “Mattress Mack,” as he’s more commonly known, put a $4.5 million bet on the Bengals to win the Super Bowl. While that’s certainly a large sum of coin, keep in mind that McIngvale is the owner and operator of the Gallery Furniture retail chain. He often ties his large bets to promotions inside his stores where if the Bengals win, customers who purchased certain items with a value of $3,000 or more can get a refund.
