Question for Kudzu

My question to you is this: If you lived near the international time zone change, can you watch a sports event and then go back in time and bet on it already knowing the outcome.

I am disappointed you did not include this site into your time zone question. We know the "other site" thinks everyone cheats and runs slow even Pre. This site does not even have trolls.

My answer is you would have to run fast to get back to the betting gate. Lots of laughs on your post. Take Care.

Re: Question for Kudzu
Here's my post on the other website, for the curious. I didn't post here because it wasn't--at least at first--a running-related thread:

Re: Question for Kudzu
I live on the west coast and my parents live on the east coast - the time zone difference confuses the heck out of them. I will call them on Sundays and tell them I watched the Patriots play at 10AM. They always want to know who won because the games don't start until 1:00p in Mass. A couple of years ago I was talking to them on a Sunday and my Dad comes out with "Can you believe that so-and-so won Survivor?!". Of course, it hadn't been on TV yet on the west coast.

Re: Question for Kudzu
my parents struggle enough with the concept of it being 5 hours earlier in the day my time when I call them in the UK, lord knows what they would make of different time zones within the same country!
