Mattress Mack put down $1 million on Houston men's basketball to win 2024 March Madness

Mega-bettor Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale has once again wagered a large sum of money on a Texas-based team in a major American sporting event.

Per Caesars Sportsbook, McIngvale has followed tradition and put down $1 million on the Houston Cougars men’s basketball team to win a national championship this year at the close of March Madness.

Right now, Houston has +750 odds to win the men’s NCAA tournament, which would send “Mattress Mack” home with quite a betting payday.

However, there are plenty of scenarios where McIngvale doesn’t cash out his bet, as there can be only two winners in March Madness.

He just dropped A MILLY on the Houston Cougars (+750) to win the National Championship… Good bet?

We’ll know later in the spring if McIngvale’s million-dollar bet on Houston will pay off, or if another team will keep the million bucks from “Mattress Mack” in Vegas.

It’s always fascinating to track a “Mattress Mack” bet, and we’ll be keeping a close eye on this one as we get closer to the men’s NCAA basketball national title game.
