Houston furniture magnate Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale made history Saturday night with the largest legal sports betting payout in history  $75 million thanks to the Houston Astros' triumph in the World Series.

All sportsbooks have a maximum bet, but it's not really the max bet that matters  it's the maximum potential payout. This can be as much asR$250,000 at the best high limit betting sites, while occasionally, it's even higher for those who are in VIP programs.
