Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale has placed another exorbitant gamble on a Houston sports team. This time, it's $1 million on the Houston Cougars winning the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.

The odds of the furniture owner's wager sat at 9-1 odds, meaning he would win $9 million if the hometown program can come through for him. He made the gamble with DraftKings, and the organization says that it's one of the largest March Madness bets on record.

"Anything can happen in March Madness as we all know, but I'm ten toes down on Houston to bring the national title to Texas, and willing to stake a million dollars with DraftKings on that outcome," said McIngvale, per KPRC 2.

      It was a huge issue in the NBA for a bit so they came out and said an offensive player swinging their arms before a shot is not part of a natural shooting motion and therefore should not be considered a shooting foul. It seems to happen less now. I don't watch every game though. https://videorulebook.nba.com/archive/foul-not-in-the-act-of-shooting-foul-occurs-on-side-to-side-motion-during-rip-thru/

      No one knows the specifics of the deal, it's not public knowledge. People are waiting for this year's tax returns so they can see the public data that shows how much each school made, and then see how much it changes over the next few years. So unfortunately all we know is that by the end of the contract everyone will be making the same amount, and that's it.

      Sissoko has just been a different player in conference and I'm here for it. Lorient of course was MVP, but Massie and Floyd need some props for coming through this game. We really need for them to give us 6-8 points a game consistently and we are going to be looking good. Horrible foul call on Walker on that 3. Also they need to change the rules where you can't move your arm into a defenders hands that are already there to create contact for a foul, that's absurd. You can't even stand there as a defender? It needs to end.

      I don’t want to be that guy, but we have a good crowd for a great game and our defense was pretty much amazing all night. How do you sit in your hands and not get into the game? My wife and dogs thought I was crazy watching at home cheering on the good guys. I just don’t get it. The Pit should have been rocking. Students looked great, @greenjoe and I believe @Matt from A700 from shown a few times up and active along with others, but overall our crowd had got to get loud. I was never a fan of how NBA announcers cue the crowds but we may need to get Rob Coffee to start some “D-Fense” chants.
