He bet more than 4.5 million! Businessman goes for the victory of Bengals in Super Bowl LVI

Super Bowl LVI arouses the interest of millions of people around the world. A few days before the NFL game, it was learned that the Texan businessman James Franklin McIngvale, whose nickname is ‘Mattress Mack’ and is known in the United States for his millionaire sports bets, is gambling this time more than 4.5 million dollars for the Cincinnati Bengals win over Los Angeles Rams.

Owner of the Gallery Furniture retail chain, ‘Mattress Mack’ has made headlines again with this bet made through a mobile application from the firm Caesars Sportbook.

Obviously, he couldn’t bet such a large sum all at once, he told US television networks.

He spent more than two hours in a liquor store taking bets on his phone to complete the $4.53 million he decided to risk for the Bengals.

In addition, in order to legally bet such an amount, he had to travel from Texas to the neighboring state of Louisiana, whose rules on sports betting are softer.

The media say this is the largest sports bet made through an app in US history.

The final of the American football league, the popular Super Bowl, will be played this February 13 between the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

‘Mattress Mack’ accompanies its bets with promotions in its stores for the Super Bowl. In this case, if the Bengals win the league, the customers of your store who have bought a mattress or certain furniture will receive the money spent.

If the bet wins, McIngvale will receive $7.7 million.

If not, his fortune, which is estimated at about 300 million dollars, will be reduced by 4.5 million dollars and “Mattress Mack” will surely receive a reprimand from his wife, says one of the media.
