help with bettor appreciation days 2013

I believe Nassau OTB should be open 365 days of the year
I will work on any Sunday in 2013 and if Nassau OTB is open on all Palm Sundays and Easters Sundays in 2013 I will give my days' pay to you so that you can bet it. Fair is fair. you can't close only on Roman Catholic Easter Sunday and Palm Sunday and not Greek Orthodox Palm Sunday and Greek Orthodox Easter Sunday.
Call Customer Service at 516-572-2800 X 178 and 179 and tell them you want to bet and workers should have the choice of whether to work or not while they still can.
 

You don't have to be a Martian to read NY Const. Art. 1, Sec. 3.

Stop scratching on holidays
Published: June 1, 2012


Off Track Betting in New York State has been racing into a crisis called shrinking revenue. Some people have spitballed a solution: Don’t close on holidays.
New York State Racing Law bars racing on Christmas, Easter and Palm Sunday, and the state has ruled OTBs can’t handle action on those days, even though they could easily broadcast races from out of state.
“You should be able to bet whenever you want,” said Jackson Leeds, a Nassau OTB employee who makes an occasional bet. He added some irrefutable logic: “How is the business going to make money if you’re not open to take people’s bets?”
Elias Tsekerides, president of the Federation of Hellenic Societies of Greater New York, said OTB is open on Greek Orthodox Easter and Palm Sunday.
“I don’t want discrimination,” Tsekerides said. “They close for the Catholics, but open for the Greek Orthodox? It’s either open for all or not open.”
OTB officials have said they lose millions by closing on Palm Sunday alone, with tracks such as Gulfstream, Santa Anita, Turf Paradise and Hawthorne running.
One option: OTBs could just stay open and face the consequences. New York City OTB did just that back in 2003. The handle was about $1.5 million – and OTB was fined $5,000.
Easy money.
