Mattress Mack in shamble

got bankrupt by the Bengals.

All he had to do was take the points.

Mattress Mack is not Mattress Mack if he played like a sissy.  He had to take a side to win the game, not to make money.  By his taking Bengals moneyline, he forced the NFL to guarantee Rams victory near the end of the 4th quarter.  If Bengals won SU, the entire gambling establishment and NFL would've looked weak.  By his action he helped all knowledgeable bettors avoid Bengals ML.  

@CoreyPaus

 this is facts. its pretty incredible how his big bets always lose, and usually via 4th quarter comeback/collapse. just like uga/bama. also possible he is just a bad karma mush from all the dodgy shit he's prob done in his life

I saw that his estimated net worth is $300 million, so I think he'll manage to avoid bankruptcy.

@CoreyPaus

Except GPS which he sure as hell made clear to everyone on Covers Bengals ML

That had to hurt. I don't care how much estimated income they estimated he had. He's a gambler probably betting big on other shit. But he can't take it with him so do what you do to enjoy life. 

^This

He has lost about 21 million dollars since hes been betting on the Astros last year. $21 million out of a $300 million networth is still A LOT. He essentially lost 7% of his networth

Mission accomplished. 

Mattress Mack probably knows just how much to lose to offset his tax liability.

The guy is not stupid.. If you don't think his accountants signed off on it,  I got some condos on the far side of the moon for sale.

Its crazy how stupid people are, one idiot posts some dumb crap then the next idiot chimes in saying its "facts"

The more and more I stay on this site the more I shoulda just become a bookie, the average sports bettor is just a blithering moron. Yeesh

I bet he lost nothing....once all the sales are in for the promo...He offset it with the Rams ML to cover the loss if any should the Bengals have won..But he got free promotion and publicity once again, which is his end game....

Its the very same reason books like Draft Kings/Fanduel etc offer free promo bets... The acquisition cost per player from advertising is way greater than $50 -$100 they potentially lose...

He hedge his bet he sold about about 10 million that week because he didn't win people bought stuff hoping he would win so they didn't have to pay whose the loser now he spent 4 million to take in 10 million+ 

Could have won if he just took the spread like most  people. I heard from a friend majority local bookies got hit hard with bengals spread/ 

I said already that Mattress Mack has a big ego not to take spread on Bengals.  He also has his commercial promotion in mind, too.  At the same time sportsbooks cannot let such a large, well publicized ML bet to win.  If the amount was something like $500,000, sportsbooks might have let him win.  There is no way sportsbooks get whipped by a guy like Mattress Mack.  So they had to do something in the fourth quarter for Rams to win by three points.  They also knew many bettors bet huge amount of money on the Over the Total, so they ended the game at 43 points in total.

Mattress Mack is a Vegas Agent, when are people gonna realize this... They are going to allow him to bet right at some point... Either he will be right when it is a heavy favorite and everyone is betting on the opposite team or when most of the money is against who he bet on... There is a reason why the media keeps talking about this guy... 

The refs slamraped Mattress Mack. 

No lube not even a courtesy spit

I hear the opposite ..The house won a boatload with most books having 70%+ on RAMS ats 

He sold 20 million dollars worth of merchanise in his promo during the two weeks prior to the Super Bowl.....his cost on a 3,000 dollar sleep system would be less than 1,500.

He at least broke even and probably made money on his promotion, he wins if his bet wins and he makes money on his business if his bet loses...a thought process like that is why he has a net worth of  300 million and ours is slightly less than that.

He did have a promotion, if you spent $3000 and the Bengals won, your furniture would be free. Turned out to be over $20 million in sales.

win-win situation for Mr. McIngvale alias Mattress Mack. @Indigo999

Apparently "vegas" allowed him to win last year's SUPE with Tampa bay Bucs.  Whatever
