Investment Venture by Mattress Mack in a Sporting News Platform
Houston entrepreneur Jim 'Mattress Mack' McIngvale, famous for his flourishing furniture business and penchant for sports betting, has ventured into the sports news industry. The business magnate has launched a new sports news website, gallerysports.com, which will cover the latest developments in Texas and Louisiana sports.
The team behind the new site is composed of seasoned sports journalists, previously with the Houston Chronicle, including John Lopez, John McClain, and Richard Justice. McIngvale aims to provide sports enthusiasts with up-to-date news while promoting his brand, Gallery Furniture.
Mattress Mack's passion for sports and sports betting is well-known. He often places large bets on his favorite teams, such as the Houston Astros, which has earned him local acclaim. His ambitious betting streak reached a new height in 2022 when he placed a $4.5 million wager on the Cincinnati Bengals during the Super Bowl, despite their eventual loss. However, Mack views betting as a pastime and a means to gain fame rather than a revenue source.
While gallerysports.com marks a new chapter for McIngvale, his involvement in the sports sector is set to expand further. He plans to launch a sports betting news site at a later date, according to reports. The venture is another strategic move to connect with fellow sports fans and promote his brand.
McIngvale's business philosophy, as he puts it, is centered around the question: "Would customers miss us if we went out of business tomorrow?" With gallerysports.com now live, sports fans can visit the site for free to stay informed about the latest Texas and Louisiana sports news.
