So he gave his customers the underdog on the money line without any points and then hedged his bet at casino. Not sure if he does this because he makes more on mattresses or he breaks even and gets the free publicity too.

But read on here that he is well liked and Texas is a big state, so guessing he makes money on the sales promotion and gets tons of publicity. 

As I posted above it seems the promotion is sort of insurance.  If he won the bet he would have made $16.2 million but he lost but also added $20 million in increased revenue for his business and a lot of new customers.   So really his customers were betting along side of him.  If he won he made $16.2 million and his customers who spent $3,000 or more on mattresses or sofas got them free.  But he lost and still added about $20 million in new revenue including a bunch of first time customers.

Really it's kind of a smart play. But he also does seem like a good person as mentioned in my post above.
