When guys I know come over here from the east coast, they don't like that they have to wake up at 10am to watch (bet on) a football game on sunday, and think they have it better on the east coast where they can wait till noon. I disagree and love having action from the time I wake up, to the time I go to bed. Plus I'd be very annoyed to have to stay up till the wee hour of the morning to know if I won a bet on a baseball game, especially on a work night. Lets face it you aren't sleeping well, until you know you won or lost. Games are finished up most of the time no later than 10pm here on the late games. So do east coast guy really think they have the better time zone for watching sports?

I like where I'm at for sports, Central time zone. By the time I get done working and home from the gym and shit it's perfect timing, games are just about to start. I stay up til like midnight or 1 most nights anyway so it's nice to have the late game sweat on until midnight or later.

Plus allows you to get some shit done on Sat/Sun mornings before football.

Football screws me up because in the morning, I cant help but argue with the pre game shows and by time I prove my point to those morons, the games start so nothing gets done.

I never see how overseas betters bet on American sports. I hate watching the Australian Open because the good matches including the final are played at 3:30 AM. Especially in Europe where there are so many soccer matches. I couldn't name 2 soccer players in Europe. I know they have 30,000 leagues. Can't imagine following the NFL or college basketball from Greece. When would you sleep

It's obvious game times are catered towards east coast viewership but I did like not having to sweat out an extra innings game in vegas until the wee hours of the morning.

I have emailed Mike and Mike before and was completely uncensored. They may have not gotten it but someone from the show did.

If you are an early riser, the West Coast for Gambling is Great. Lived out there for a year and at first it was hard to get use to it.....But prefer the East Coast

If you lived on the west coast and had to work, you would miss the first 2 days of the NCAA tournament. I love those first 2 days.
