    Default Why Do Some Sportsbooks Use West Coast Time?

    Most use EST

    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.
