yeah, why the hell do they do that!?
the worst part is i use sportsinteraction for most of my wagering and they are famous for shutting down the betting on a game early. so, for instance, a 4:05 or 1:05 start you better have in before 4:00. so you can't risk waiting on a 4:18 start.
i got burned last night again on the 2nd half MNF game. first, their lines open late. and then 2 minutes before the second half kick-off i (tried) pounded the RAMS and Over, entered the bet ... and watched that damn hour glass spin for a minute and then ... "Sorry, we're no longer accepting ... " the bastids! with a still a minute go!
i'm on DSL and my clock is adjusted daily to the atomic clock.
anyway, yes, the senior pimp is accurate ... 4:18pm EST
