Why Do Some Sportsbooks Use West Coast Time?

[jjgold]

Most use EST

[turnip]

I dunno

Maybe because vegas is pacific time

[jjgold]

Good point but I do not know if it the reason

[pico]

greek use CST...they're in jamaica...last time i checked they're in the same time zone as miami

pinnacle use PST...netherland anti is in EST i think


no clue

Vegas is on Pacific time and so that's how rotations were historically presented.

West Coast is the best coast.

All books should have a option to view your own time zone.

Yeah don't know why they don't. I guess they just don't want any needless complications, but itd be nice.

I know that BetJamaica allows users to select their preferred time zone ... surely there are many others with the same functionality. I know that users can select their preferred time zone on our free betting odds at SBR Odds as well ... it's not a terribly difficult thing to implement from a programming stand point.

Cris uses West Coast, I feel like calling and starting trouble.

[pimike]

Thats a good question?

Never really bothered me.

Lets pick winners, never mind the Time.
