Jim McIngvale, a well-known Texas furniture mogul and noted gambler, has made news once more by placing a massive bet on the Houston Astros. Mack placed a $1.9 million bet on the Astros to win the World Series for the second time this year. If the bet goes well, it would have a payout of $11.4 million. Mack won the World Series for the first time last season after successfully betting $10 million on the Astros to win the World Series.

At a parade through the city streets with Jim 'Mattress Mack' McIngvale, the world's most profitable gambler, toasted the team's second World Series victory. After winning the World Series, Mack won a whopping $75 million.

According to a city news release, the downtown parade after the Astros' 2017 victory brought in about 1 million people, and the parade's organizers anticipated about that many people to attend Monday's parade.
