Vince Young, right, talks with Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale before Game 2 of the American League Championship Series on Saturday, Oct. 16, 2021, at Minute Maid Park in Houston.
Regarding “Mattress Mack made another Super Bowl bet. Here's how his past free furniture deals went.” (Feb. 4): While he continues to garner headlines, there is something not right about Mattress Mack driving across the state border into Louisiana to place several wagers totaling $4.5 million on the underdog Cincinnati Bengals to win Super Bowl LVI. He evidently stopped at a gas station across the border, logged into his mobile betting account, placed his bets and drove back home. Seems somewhat suspicious, but legal nonetheless.
