Astro 1 137 – Facebook Messenger On Mac

Posted on 4/27/2021 by admin

A Houston furniture salesman, attempting to mitigate millions of dollars in potential refunds from a promotion, placed one of the largest bets ever taken by a U.S. bookmaker on Tuesday at a Mississippi sportsbook.

Astro for Facebook Messenger costs $1.99. From what I can tell, third-party Facebook chat clients in the Mac App Store range in price from free to $4.99. The average price for a chat client in this genre is about two dollars, so the price is reasonable.

Jim 'Mattress Mack' McIngvale, owner of Gallery Furniture in Houston, bet $3.5 million on the Houston Astros to win the World Series at the DraftKings sportsbook at Scarlet Pearl casino in Biloxi, Mississippi. At +220 odds, the wager would pay a net $7.7 million if the Astros win the World Series.

McIngvale wired the $3.5 million to the Scarlet Pearl on Monday and flew from Houston to Biloxi. He said Tuesday that the betting slip was in his pocket and joked that he'd probably keep it in his wallet, 'which is secured by a bunch of rubber bands.'

On Thursday, McIngvale was in New Jersey to place another large wager on the Astros to win it all. He bet $1.5 million at the same +220 odds at the FanDuel Sportsbook at The Meadowlands. The wager would win $3.3 million and is believed to be the largest legal online wager in the state's brief sports betting history.

McIngvale also recently placed a $200,000 World Series bet on the Astros +250 at the South Point in Las Vegas and has additional wagers for undisclosed amounts with Nevada bookmakers Caesars, MGM, Treasure Island and Circa Sports. He's shopping around for more, too.

McIngvale's $3.5 million wager at the Scarlet Pearl is nearly equal to how much was bet on baseball at Mississippi sportsbooks in June, July and August combined.

'I think it's the biggest [bet] that's ever happened in Mississippi,' DraftKings chief revenue officer and co-founder Matt Kalish said.

Not only is it believed to be the biggest bet ever in Mississippi, it's also easily one of the largest wagers ever reported in the United States -- and McIngvale might not be finished.

McIngvale has been in communication with multiple sportsbooks in New Jersey, inquiring about making large wagers. In early September, bookmaker FanDuel, after discussions with McIngvale, requested approval from the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement to accept a bet of greater than $5 million on the Astros.

'I'm just amazed how much DraftKings and Scarlet Pearl took, and they didn't blink an eye,' McIngvale said. 'That's pretty rare in the sports betting business in the United States for someone to take three and [a] half million dollars.'

For much of the baseball season, McIngvale has been offering to refund mattress-related purchases of $3,000 or more if the Astros win the World Series. He ran a similar promotion in 2017 and refunded more than $10 million in purchases when Houston beat the Los Angeles Dodgers to win the franchise's first World Series. That year, McIngvale placed more than $1 million in bets on the Astros with Las Vegas bookmakers, helping him limit his exposure from the promotion. This year, with more states offering sports betting, he has expanded options, including Mississippi and New Jersey.

'It's a whole different game in 2019,' McIngvale told ESPN last week, as he was shopping around for the best price and highest limits.

While a few $1 million bets regularly show up on the Super Bowl, multimillion-dollar wagers -- especially on the World Series -- are extremely rare:

• In 2002, longtime Las Vegas bookmaker Robert Walker says he took a $4.8 million money-line bet on the St. Louis Rams to beat the New England Patriots straight-up in Super Bowl XXXVI. The Patriots upset the Rams 20-17.

• In 2018, an unnamed bettor at an MGM sportsbook in Las Vegas placed a $3 million money-line bet on the Philadelphia Eagles to beat the Patriots in Super Bowl LII. The Eagles pulled off the upset, and the bettor won a net $4.5 million.

• In 1995, veteran Las Vegas bookmaker Jimmy Vaccaro says he took a $2.4 million money-line wager from prominent investor Carl Icahn on the heavily favored San Francisco 49ers (1-8) to beat the Chargers in Super Bowl XXIX. Icahn won a net $300,000 when the 49ers blew out the Chargers.

The Astros were down to +210 in DraftKings' odds to win the World Series after taking McIngvale's bet. The Dodgers are the second favorite at +260.

Before McIngvale's wager, more money had been bet on the New York Yankees to win the World Series at DraftKings than had been bet on any other team. The Yankees are +425.

'This does change the picture for us a little bit,' Kalish said Tuesday. 'This will make the Astros the biggest liability.'

McIngvale, 68, is a beloved figure in Houston. He opened his furniture store to those in need during flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey and says he always roots for the Astros regardless of his position.

He declined to characterize how big of a liability he has on this year's promotion.

Gallery Furniture's liability from the promotion surpassed $15 million this week and was still growing, McIngvale said.

'I know these wacky promotions like this one, when people get their money back, it's the greatest publicity I could ever hope for,' McIngvale said.

The Astros will host the winner of the Tampa Bay Rays-Oakland Athletics wild-card game in an American League Divisional Series.

In the weeks leading up to baseball's postseason, McIngvale hired two Las Vegas gamblers to help him locate the best price. Anthony Curtis, one of the gamblers, said McIngvale was looking to get down upward of $10 million on the Astros.

After Tuesday's bet, Mattress Mack is almost halfway there.

Facebook is one of the most essential apps that you can use on your Android phone. Whether you would like to reconnect with friends, spend time chatting or even if you want to just download pictures from your account to your phone, Facebook can do a lot. Connecting with your friends as well as instantly uploading pictures from your phone to Facebook can be second nature for many people. If you have Facebook on your phone there's a good chance that you don’t know how to go without it.
The problem that many people face is that Facebook is incompatible with their Android device or they can't access the application through the Google Play Store. Luckily there is a workaround for this issue.
If you have had problems installing Facebook because your phone or device is incompatible, or because you are unable to use the Google Play Store, you can use these steps to download and install Facebook. Remember that this method is entirely legal and a simple workaround that you can use for any Android device to run the latest version of the Facebook app.
Step 1
The first step is to download an APK file from an alternative App-Store like TorrApk. Any app on the Google Paly Store is uploaded in APK format. This is a file format that Android uses as an executable file. By downloading the APK file for the latest version of the Facebook app from TorrApk source, using get your phone to install the application just as it would downloading Facebook from the Google Play Store.

To download the APK file visit this link on your phone and then find the section that says “Download the latest APK File” Click this button and your phone or device should automatically start the download.

Step 2
The next step is to enable your Android device to install APK files from unknown sources. By default your Android device will only install applications from the Google Play marketplace or from other registered Android APK sources. To change these settings you need to go to the Settings Tab > Security Tab and enable the Unknown sources setting. Once the unknown sources option is enabled you can install any APK file on your device or that you download.
In older versions of Android the unknown sources option can be found under Settings > Applications.
Step 3
The third step is to open up your download file manager. If you have a third-party download manager like file expert or Astro, this can change for your downloads go from your web browser link. Both of these third-party programs will download files to your SD card by default and that means that you can most likely find the APK file in your SD card folder. Once you find the Facebook APK file all you need to do is click the file and begin the installation process. Android will begin the installation of the application and alert you when it has completed the full installation. Once the installation is complete you should be able to find Facebook in your app menu or even on your home screen. From here you can test the app by opening it and trying it. If you encounter problems you could consider downloading an older version of the Facebook application and uninstalling the APK you installed.
