Seems Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale has never seen a wager he doesn't like.
The Texas furniture mogul has been a fixture in the sports betting game in recent years. He put millions on the Astros, Bengals and Horned Frogs in the past 12 months.

And he shows no signs of stopping, once again investing major money in another home-state team.
Mark Berman of Houston television station KRIV reported that McIngvale walked into the Horseshoe Casino in Lake Charles, La., last week and put $2 million cash down on the Cowboys in their NFC divisional matchup with the 49ers.

If Dallas wins on Sunday, Mack will pocket $3.35 million based on him getting +165 and +170 moneyline odds on the underdog Cowboys, per Sports Illustrated.

McIngvale is a risk-taker, but he's also a businessman. And, just as he has done with his other bets, he is running an accompanying promotion. Gallery Furniture, the Houston mattress superstore he owns, will give away mattresses valued at $3,000 or more if the Cowboys move on to the NFC championship game.

It's not the first time Mack has pinned his hopes — and cheddar — on Dallas. In fact, just one week ago, Gallery Furniture gave away tons of free furniture after the Cowboys beat the Buccaneers in the wild-card round.
Mack's bet is eye-popping, but it can't hold a candle to his World Series bets last year on the Astros, which earned him a mammoth $75 million payout.
