Topic: BEST TIMEZONE FOR SPORTsBETTING - page 3. (Read 322 times)

almost everyone says the best time zone for placing sports bets is when according to the match schedule that has been determined for each country. to be honest, I myself also place football sports bets, usually according to a set schedule, for example the match takes place at night (my country) then I will place a bet at that time too.
so I agree with the answers of some people here who say betting according to the hours of each country.

I've seen people taking this timezone of a thing very serious, I don't know why maybe I can finally learn something about this here? I just focus on who the teams are and their chance of performing better in their upcoming or ongoing game, my local time zone is enough for me and I don't know why some people use the foreign time zone, Does anyone have a idea why they do this?

There is no best timezone in my opinion, as obviously gamblers are all over the world and they might follow the timezone of sports event that they want to bet or simply follow their own timezone.

For me I love to bet on NBA games and so I will look for the next schedule and see if it can fit my timezone, meaning if I'm awake that time and probably can watch the game. But if it is too early, then I might just go and sleep and know the results once I wake up. Or if I'm really very interested on watching the game they I have to wake up early to catch the game live.

I always use my country's time zone where when I bet I can still watch the game going on so I have to do anything when something goes wrong I can act immediately because usually I always do Cashout when the team I bet on has the opportunity to lose so that there is a little return on the money I have at stake.
But sometimes it's also not too much of a race against time because I can't watch some matches because it coincides at night where I have to rest but in matches like this I usually dare to make betting decisions if one of them really has a very big chance of winning.

A little advice from me is to bet on the types of sports that you enjoy and understand so you can make better predictions.

I am not sure what timezone has to do with sports betting. Sports betting depends on the game you like and your understanding about the events associated with that game. Majority bet on soccer and most of those matches happen in Europe or South American countries. They both have different timezone. For someone betting on soccer matches, has to follow both the timezone.

I don't follow soccer but I follow cricket and every game happens keeping in mind the timezone of South Asian countries, which is good for me as I reside in one of those countries.

I'd say it depends on what you're watching im the first place? I mean some DOTA majors happen literally at 1-2 am in my timezone, while some are at 9-10pm. It's inconvenient for sure especially if you enjoy watching matches live.

I don't particularly mind it tbh, I usually just watch replays if I can't watch the matches themselves, but if I were to pick a time then 7-9 pm at my local time zone. Calling it "best" for sports betting is kind of nothing though since it doesn't really affect both the match and my bet. It just affects us, who wants to watch it.

You had the answer in the final sentence of your opening post. "It's subjective." or it depends on where you are.

I don't like the -3 or -4 timezone which means the games that would be betting on are in the Middle East. I don't know much about their sports there either than football. But I am not really a big fan of it unless it's the big leagues.
But the issue here is the timezone and I don't mind waking up early, especially for USA leagues like NBA, NFL, and MLB. +12 hours, if they play late at night then I will just have to wake up early.
If you really love the game you will bet for, you can definitely adjust to it and after some time you will be used to it and you won't even mind the sacrifice.
IMO, there's no best timezone for it, it depends on the sport you like, and wherever the place they are playing you can still adjust to it.

I don't even know that timezone is a thing in sportsbetting. I guess it's also good for those who do live betting but it doesn't really matter to those who choose to bet before the game. Are the odds better at the time you've chosen OP? I used to wake up early or stay late just to watch and gamble at my favorite league but not worth losing some sleep hours anymore.

I am not familiar with all the time zones but there is indeed inconvenience when you are a fan of an international sports league that has a time zone which is in conflict with yours. Today is the 7th game of Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers, for example. I placed a good amount of bet on it, but the sad thing is that I cannot watch it live because it is played at 3:30 early in the morning. I do not have a choice but to sleep while the game is on and hope that I'd be greeted with a win when I wake up.

I have never considered the influence the time zones can have on ones participation in sport betting, but it makes sense, since the major leagues and matches usually take place in fixed countries or collection of countries and there will be inevitably time zones which are more favorable than others. I assume that those living in very extreme time zones and need to get up early in the morning to work, do not have much options, beyond watching their matches in repeat or just see the summaries of the games they betted on.

In my case, I live in -4, and I can agree that it is favorable, we can watch American sport leagues, South American ones and European ones without staying up too late at night or waking up too early in the morning. 

I don't know whether that matters since the matches of the games are scheduled, you just have to identify what time the fight is in your country. The matches are always on time, you just have to schedule yourself as well in order to watch. Or you can just bet without watching the game. It doesn't matter what you're after is just betting and wining.

Isn't sports betting matches event scheduled?  So no matter what timezone everyone is using, it all depends on the result of the scheduled match.  i think this is another kind of fallacy without any proof that can back the claim that using the x timezone produces a better result.

I do have this kind of fallacy but who knows, as you stated, it is subjective, this might give sense to us but non-sense to others.  One thing is certain though, gambling with the money we can afford to lose will always save us from all troubles.

if you prefer to place live bets then you will have to worry about the time when the games take place but it is very difficult or impossible to bet live on all good games, because the premier league games, the bundesliga games, the games the serie A, the Portuguese league games, the Ligue 1 games take place on weekends and consciously at the same hours, so it is difficult for a person to watch 5 or 10 games at the same time, so it is useless to worry about the best time zone to bet since the games of the best leagues take place on weekends and at the same times, now for UFC games it has been quite problematic for me because there is a time when I am sleeping

soon it becomes very difficult for me to watch any UFC fights, also the boxing fights and another problem for me, they fight at the times when I am watching the games of the main leagues so I choose to watch soccer than watch boxi, another big problem that I have had and with the NBA games, which are all games that happen when I go to sleep, no matter how hard I try to watch the NBA games, it is very difficult for that to happen, that's why I prefer to place bets before the games start, preferably I bet two days before the games start, this prevents me from forgetting about the game because there are many games to place bets on

for me the time zone does not matter, I only need to place bets 2 days before the games, I think that the soccer games of the main leagues in Europe have the best schedule, in the case of boxing, UFC and NBA as they are events held in most times in the USA it has happened at the time when in my country it is already bedtime, something like 2 o'clock in the morning. I can't stay at 2 am to start watching an NBA game

I don't go with timezone and all. While gambling my primary focus is just upon the team involved and the chance of winning the same. With casino games my choice used to be to play during the midnight or early morning.. I've a belief, it'd increase the q winning chance.

I use my country time zone which is the best. People in their country will use their country time zone because it will be the best for them. I know the time the favorite leagues fall under if I am using my country time zone and it is the easiest.

Like the Subject of the topic says. For you what time zone its the best for Sportsbetting?.





For example i dont think european zone its the best, its one of the best but not the better of alls.

For me to see the events, having a life and also betting in life without having to wake up in the early morning its......

-3 or -4 time zone.

For example you can have the whole european games trought the day, you can also see the NBA in the evening (you cant make this in Europe timezone,most of the games are like 3/4 am).

One last thing, i know every country have your sports but im talking about the more bigger and common ones, not come and say... "oh but you cant look the Eritrean league of football" Or "the armenian league of Teqball".

So in resume for me its:

- Best -3 or -4
- Really good 0/+1/+2.
- Worst mayority of the pacific timezone +10.

Obviusly this its really subjetive.
