| 0:16.4 | We're going to start today the Vegas lead with this bet that is a record-breaking bet. So who is |
| 0:23.4 | mattress Mac? He is a guy out of Houston who sells mattresses and very successful. And, |
| 0:32.6 | oh, I don't know, probably seven, eight years ago, I think. It could be even longer. |
| 0:56.3 | He started offering these long-shot deals that would extend, let's say, through the whole season or even more, and say things like if the Astros, you know, Houston, if the Astros win the title, everyone who's bought anything from this day to this day gets a full refund. |
