Mattress Mack is back with one heck of a bet on the NCAA Tournament.
Jim McIngvale, who goes by Mattress Mack, has put down $1 million on Houston to win it all this year.
Houston has +750 odds to win it all so if McIngvale wins, he’ll be walking away with a boatload of money.
It’s a good bet to make since Houston is the top team in the country right now. The Cougars are 25-3 overall and are fresh off a 67-59 win against the Cincinnati Bearcats on Tuesday.
The Cougars have three games left in the regular season, including a home against the seventh-ranked Kansas Jayhawks, before they partake in the Big 12 Tournament.
If they’re able to finish the regular season strong, plus win the conference title, they’ll be on their way to being a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. There’s also a chance they’d be the top overall seed in March.
Let’s see if Mattress Mack looks smart when the NCAA Tournament gets underway on Mar. 19. It’ll run through Apr. 8 when the Final Four and National Championship Game are played in Phoenix.
