Original Message (ZeroHedge) A Houston businessman has placed a total of $10 million in bets on the Astros to win the World Series. He says his wagers carry an average payout of 7.5-to-1, which means a Houston championship would bring him $75 million -- if the Astros can overcome their current deficit to the upstart Philadelphia Phillies.

That would be the largest haul in sports betting history, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale, the 71-year-old owner of Gallery Furniture in Houston, is famed for making enormous sports bets that hedge his sports-linked furniture promotions.
