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.
Edmund C. Burns, General Counsel
Ed Burns became General Counsel of the New York State Gaming Commission at its inception in February 2013, after serving briefly as General Counsel of the New York State Racing and Wagering Board.

He advised the Commissioner and the Major League Baseball clubs on rule interpretations and revisions, compliance, industry-wide and international agreements and operations matters, while overseeing the league’s Scouting Bureau and Arizona Fall League.
During his tenure at MLB, Burns was instrumental in negotiations with international partners, resolving disputes and rule enforcement issues. He was a key player in the establishment of the World Baseball Classic tournament and in getting the Federal COMPETE Act of 2006 passed, which eased the employment process for nonimmigrant athletes.

Prior to his work with MLB, Burns served as an associate at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett where he litigated antitrust, insurance coverage, securities, contract and banking matters.

Burns began his career as a sports reporter for Sports Illustrated and United Press International in the 1980s. He has a law degree from the Yale Law School and graduated from Dartmouth College, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and the Collegiate School in New York City.
