Mattress Mack is at it again, placing another big money bet on his Houston Astros. The famed sports bettor laid down $2 million on the Astros to win the World Series this October. With +553 odds on the wager, he’d land a win of over $10.6 million with a Series win.
The bet is far from his first of this size. He laid down over $3 million on Houston last year, but the ‘Stros ultimately fell short in the final by losing to the Braves.
He’s doubling down in 2022, though, and he’ll certainly have a shot to bring home a win. Houston currently leads the AL West with 59-32 overall record. The sit nearly 10 games up on the next closest division foe as the first half of the season comes to a close.
Barring a second half meltdown, the Astros should find themselves safely in the postseason as they boast the second-best record in the American League.
Unfortunately, Mattress Mack doesn’t have a strong history of winning. He’s lost Super Bowls, World Series, the College Football Playoff, the Kentucky Derby, and March Madness.
With this latest wager on the Astros, many are buying into the jinx saying Houston’s chances of a title are officially through.
