Unibet has settled a historic bet in the United States following the Houston Astro’s World Series Victory against the Philadelphia Phillies on 5 November. Jim McIngvale, an American entrepreneur, bet $1.05 million on the Astros winning resulting in a payout of $6.3 million.
“We are happy to congratulate Jim McIngvale on his successful bet on the Houston Astros. As one of the largest online betting operators globally we occasionally take on these bigger bets, and seen as a part of our overall sportsbook business it is a small exposure”, said Henrik Tjärnström, CEO Kindred Group. This is Jim McIngvale’s second big bet at Unibet, after the 2019 unsuccessful $ 1.5 million bet on the Houston Astros to win the World Series. The settled payout of $ 6.3 million will be shown as part of Kindred’s North America financial numbers in the reporting for the fourth quarter.
