i am betting on a french open tennis match. but i am a bit confused on the starting time of the match. on pinnacle, it is listed as 4:30am PST, which is about 7:30am est.

Tue 5/29 T. Bacsinszky vs J. Zheng
04:30 AM 421 T. Bacsinszky +117 Risk To Win
422 J. Zheng -127 Risk To Win

i went to the greek, and the match is listed as 5:30am cst, which is about 6:30am est

5/29/2007 5:30 AM Timea Bacsinszky vs Jie Zheng Two full sets must be completed without either player retiring or being disqualified for wagers to stand.
321 Timea Bacsinszky +105
322 Jie Zheng -125

two interesting things to notice:
1) the greek's line close an hour earlier than pinnacle
2) the greek has better odds if you want to bet on the slight favorite -125 versus -127...this is pretty rare, pinnacle usually always has better lines on both sides.

does anyone know what time the match will actually start in france? (in eastern standard time please, to keep the things simple)

I've noticed that too about them. Thegreek stop taking wagers on certain tennis events before they start them. To answer your question though. It starts in roughly 6 1/2 hours.

damn, jie zheng lost. i should've bet on the swiss player rather than the chinese player.
