Overview
- Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale placed the seven-figure wager on New England at Caesars Sportsbook, targeting a win over the Seattle Seahawks.
- At +200 odds, the stake would yield a $4 million profit if the Patriots prevail.
- ESPN’s David Purdum reported the $2 million ticket as the largest bet Caesars has taken ahead of the game.
- The wager hedges a Gallery Furniture deal that refunds qualifying $4,000 purchases if New England wins.
- McIngvale returns to his promotion-hedging playbook after skipping last year, following prior outcomes that included a $75 million Astros win and multi-million-dollar losses on the Bengals and Houston Cougars.
