    I LOVE the pacific time zone

    Heritage uses PST time for all their games, so I am used to it

    Weekends are really hard, seems like games right on top of you so fast

    Maybe if you live here it is no big deal

    First-world problems.

    JJ, when NFL starts, get to the lines at 9am with all the other crusty, red-eyed degenerates.

    Been burned a few times because the line is 20 people long, and some fuktard is doing a 10-team parlay, and there's only 2 windows open.

    Cantors is the book of choice for heavy hitters. Start flashing a few dimes, and they'll up your limit in no time. (at least from what I hear, I'm not even close to this kind of action).

    What's your definition of "heavy hitter"? LVH has generous limits(at least this what the "heavies" on this board have told me ) you can easily get your limit increased to several dimes at any of the major sportsbooks, ie Cantors, LVH, Caesars, Stations, Coast.

    There's lots of overnight books, I think every major book has overnight MLB lines. Southpoint and Gold Coast are open 24 hours. Cantors had overnight RL.

    I don't understand the last question, but I was at a Cantor's today and I saw all the NFL week 1 lines were up.

    Pacific Timezone is the best. I'm bias though.

    Learn to subtract 3 hours JJ.

    Here is a hint. The Las Vegas Sportsbooks use local time, no need to subtract. Even on their printsheets.

    I would hate doing that. Waiting on line and praying I get my play in in time.

    Then you miss your play by 30 seconds because some slow person held it up and your side wins of course.

    There are many dipsh!ts that like to get to the window without rotation numbers. So it takes the writer awhile to punch in the person's grocery receipt.

    You always need to get there early, and give yourself time on busy game days.

    I usually bet mid week for NFL, and don't have to go through that bullsh!t. Now there are Smart Phone Apps, so it also makes it easier. Just stay home and bet.

    having lived all around and abroad, west coast is by far the best wagering schedule for post-college professionals. trying to cap and follow the action at 10:30pm is no good.

    the mind is sharpest late morning anyway - 9am cfb and 10am nfl starts are absolutely perfect for all day balanced action. the latest starts come at 7:30pm for hoops and baseball and weekday action starts right around when work ends, so it's perfect for happy hour activities too.

    Sucks indeed.

    Only good thing is that it's the first thing I do. I wake up so early there too because of my internal clock. I'll wake up and it will be 4;30am. Hit the sportbook when she opens and enjoy the day.

    it's screwed up one way or the other on either coast. Aside from the fact that you might be up late Saturday night and that the games start at 10 AM, what about during the week? You have the card starting at 4 PM.
