Is the Gallery Furniture promotion still valid, or did that pass? If still valid, had been meaning to get some furniture, but never got around to it.

Mac would be a fool to still be extending the offer, now that the Astros are already in the WS and the heavy favorite. Mac ain't no fool.

Actually he pulled the promotion on Tuesday. Monday he had record sales. The Astros are such big WS favorites now that it was not worth it for Mac to continue the promo.

I read somewhere that he runs the promotion until he sales certain amount.
After that, he cancels the promotion.

I gotta admit that the guy is a genius.
Found a way to get everybody to indirectly gamble in a state where gambling is illegal.
Or in other words, found a loophole.

You must not "invest" in the stock market.

I didn’t hear that he would double their purchase price. Only that your purchase over $3k would be covered. Guess I missed that.

I also don't understand sports betting. How can you put $4 million on the team favored to win and bring home $42 million?
Odds. He didn't bet it all in October, he legged into his bets all season when more teams had a chance to win the WS
