Bishop Lynch alumnus, “proud East Dallas boy,” multimillionaire and Cowboys fan (to name a few) Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale reportedly has $2 million worth of bets on Dallas to win the division.

He placed the wager Monday afternoon before the Cowboys-Bucs game with +650 odds, according to a hype video featuring the 71-year-old furniture-chain owner.

McIngvale placed a pair of $1 million money-line bets that will pay a total of $3.35 million if the Cowboys beat the 49ers in Sunday’s NFL divisional playoff game at San Francisco, Las Vegas Review Journal explains.

McIngvale, a Houston resident, made the bets at Caesars Sportsbook in Louisiana, where San Fran is a 4-point fave.

The Bishop Lynch alumnus’ wagers are the latest in a series of furniture-promotion related gambles, the Journal reports. In this case, customers who make a purchase of $3,000 or more will get their money back if the Cowboys beat the Niners.

A famous gambler, Mack’s record is hit and miss. He lost $3.13 million on TCU versus Georgia in the College Football Playoff national championship game. But, he won a record $72.6 million in wagers on the Astros to win the World Series.

In 2017, the millionaire — already a legend because of his over-the-top commercials for his Gallery Furniture — emerged as a Hurricane Harvey hero when he opened the doors to his stores following the storm.

Years earlier, when Houston became a new home for many after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, McIngvale posted a sign that said “Louisiana residents sleep here free,” and several hundred took him up on the offer, the Advocate has reported.

McIngvale graduated from Bishop Lynch High School in East Dallas to the football team at the University of Texas, where he won a national championship before transferring to the University of North Texas.

“I was too small and too slow,” he tells Dallas Morning News of the reason for the college transfer.

The septuagenerian went on to tell the paper about getting married, moving to Houston and getting into the furniture business in 1981.

The canny salesman’s “Gallery Furniture saves you money” catchphrase made him a 1980s household name.
