Should major sports make any consideration for us losers who are stuck on the east coast when they start playoff games? It's bad enough during the regular year how about giving a break to the schlubs who live in NY, DC, Philly, and elsewhere during playoff time?

Suns game tips at 10:55, how am I supposed to watch this when I have surgery scheduled tomorrow at 8 AM?

How do you think we feel about 4pm start times here out West when we have normal jobs? Know how many times I have missed solid moves or even just missed plays I intended to make because I had something to do at work around 3:45? May suck if you have action, but sometimes hard to get into action period if you live out West.

I understand the frustration. Atleast you have MNF early in the afternoon/evening. :103631605

WB, 9AM College Kickoffs and Tipoffs, plus 4 and 4:05PM Baseball starts always aggravate the cr@p out of me when in LV or MTN time..there is no way to work it properly part-time.

One can't play the moves, plays, or clock, out there very well if a 9-to-5er, unless a full-timer in the industry..I sympathize.

But your advantages are in buying overnights and friday night specials, and taking fat dog numbers built by the LA-SF weekend warriors, that only LVers or those with friends in the streets can reach.

Play to your strengths!

I suppose you are right on that. Only thing is about 98% of my bankroll is tied up in the same places you all play in. I really only hit Vegas numbers on Friday nights, usually college football which I don't seriously bet anyways. Definitely good numbers to be had in those. For most of the rest of the year though not enough time value in hunting down those advantages unless you are a full timer. Traffic and geography make it too hard to be worthwhile for all but the most dedicated scalpers and players. Used to be good with a number of good options for phone accounts, but those are all but gone now as well.

For bases, by far my biggest effort of the year, I play almost all overnights. I do give something up though, missing out on a number of plays where had I known the number moved my way in the last half hour I might have hit it.

Without a doubt I think if you are serious just about betting, East is the better place to be timewise. If you are in-game specialist or love to sweat the games, then I can see West being better.

Having to wait until noon on Saturdays and 1pm on Sundays to watch football would suck. Early start times are the best.

Defintately a benefit of the central time zone. Sort of split the difference.
