Vidor 40 Bridge City 43/FINAL

19-4A play, tonight 7:30pm

Big playoff implications in this one.  Going to be a fun race for the 3 and 4 spot in this district.  BC got a huge win against LCM last week, and now Vidor could really use a big win against BC.  

[AggiesAreWe]

These two played each other in the Orangefield tourney. Vidor won pretty convincingly 72-46.

Give me Vidor by 10.

That LCM result last week really surprised me.  If BC channels some of that they can beat vidor, who hasn't been playing particularly well, losing their last four, including by 17 to LCM, who BC just beat.  Up until a week ago I thought Vidor had a clear shot at the #4 spot in the district, but there seems to be some competition now.

My belief that was more about LC-M than BC. But it was an impressive win none the less.

BC won by. 3!!!!

Hilarious

Bridge City motivated by bulletin board material edges Vidor by 3. I can see the Orange Leader headline now.

Not the first game I have picked wrong and certainly will not be the last.

But I'm okay with my picks.

Sounds like I was on to something.  Glad I could inspire them with my belief that they could win this one.

Don’t feel bad.  At least you didn’t have 3 million on the TCU money line.  Then again if we had Mattress Mack’s $ and system, we probably wouldn’t care either.

I don't feel bad at all. Hey, upsets happen.

But I will put my success of picking local high school basketball games with anyone on this site. But Hoops, you already know this so I am preaching to the choir.

Here's the deal... Gallery runs promotions that say "If the Astros win the World Series, your furniture is free!"  They sell a bunch of furniture and since the odds of winning are such a long shot, Mac only needs to put up a portion of his actual sales.  If his bet wins, he uses the winnings to make up the funds lost by refunding people for their furniture.  If he loses, he's still up because so the promotion brought in so much in extra sales, and he's only putting a portion of those sales into his wagers... He's taking a small haircut on a loss, but it's not bad at all, apparently.  And he has national news giving him tons of free advertising.

Yeah he has a good system. I met him in 2017 at game one of the ALDS. Really nice guy.
