Let's talk about "Mattress Mack" Jim McIngvale and his audacious $1 million wager on the University of Houston to win the NCAA basketball tournament. At first glance, it seems like a wild, all-in gamble. But as is often the case, there's more than meets the eye with this crafty furniture tycoon. Here's the deal: 🛏 McIngvale runs a promotion at his Gallery Furniture chain - buy a $4,000+ mattress, get it free if Houston wins it all. 💰 He then bets big on the Cougars to hedge his promotion risk. $1 million at +750 odds to be precise. 💸 If Houston cuts down the nets, he'll rake in $7.5 million to cover thousands of free mattress refunds. 😏 But even if they fall short, all those juicy mattress sales offset his betting losses. It's an ingenious marketing ploy disguised as sports gambling bravado. McIngvale is no reckless Vegas whale. He's a savvy operator leveraging the unholy union of sports fandom and retail gimmickry. Whether the Cougars win or not, Mattress Mack will be sleeping comfortably, stuffed with cash from both angles of his scheme. Gotta hand it to the mattress maverick - he's definitely found his luxurious niche between the economics of sport and the theater of marketing. A true triple-double threat in the arena of American capitalism.

Yes, there is a huge amount of 21-35-year-olds or what CBS called the "Tik-Tok" generation(s) that want to partake in sporting events, Formula 1, Adele concerts, and U2 at the sphere. This was the big report that came out on CBS Sunday Morning yesterday. A sure sign that mainstream media is completely out of touch and does not even realize that there are 3 billion video gamers out there that they just ignore or are oblivious to. By the way, I would include all of the gambling industry in that "mainstream media" mentality. But go right ahead Vegas! Bring ALL the sporting events you can to your doors. I just think you are missing a bigger opportunity to incorporate actual GAMES people want to play. I am sure you will sell plenty of hotel rooms, food, and beverages but at the end of the day, Vegas' bread and butter... the gambling aspect will and is ignored when it doesn't have to be. Reinvent gambling games through video games and skill-based gaming. It is coming and the CEC is where we are planting the seeds. www.ceclive.com https://lnkd.in/ehH54gXV

Mastering slick cold call techniques, one-liners, and openers is the same as being a great street baller in any sport, but without any professional training. It can work for the playing field, but it won't get you more than some weekend competition pay or games with monopoly money on the line. Yet, professionals who show up to the street ball game always seem to perform as if they are playing against ants, or worse, cones. Streetball can take you to a certain level, but without the foundations and shape first, I don't really leave the game with much more than an inflated ego. #coldcallceo https://lnkd.in/eZCWJ2ye
