Who is high stakes sports bettor “Mattress Mack?”

Houston furniture store owner Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale, 68, lost $13 million betting on Houston Astros to win the World Series. He avoided a $20 million loss on a promotion at his stores that offered refunds on mattress sets if the Astros had won the World Series. Mack talks about how he got started in the furniture business and how his stores help the community. (K.M. Cannon/Las Vegas Review-Journal) @KMCannonPhoto
