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.

Adam Barsky, chairman of a state oversight board in control of Nassau’s finances, has been named chief of staff and special counselor to the Port Authority.
Barsky, a former New York City budget director and chief financial officer, will remain as chairman of the Nassau Interim Finance Authority.
He will start at the Port Authority on Thursday and resign as executive vice president and chief risk officer of the Israel Discount Bank of New York in Manhattan. His salary is $250,000, a Port Authority spokesman said Wednesday.
“With his strategic acumen, change management expertise and proven ability to guide complex organizations to success, Adam will provide invaluable support to me across the entire portfolio of our priorities and operations,” wrote the Port Authority’s executive director, Rick Cotton, in a staff memo Tuesday.
The Port Authority operates and maintains New York and New Jersey’s main transportation facilities, including five regional airports, six bridges and tunnels and the Port Authority Bus Terminal.
The agency also owns and manages the 16-acre World Trade Center.
Barsky, who grew up in East Islip and lives in White Plains, was appointed by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo as NIFA’s fourth chairman in March 2016. He started his career as comptroller in Babylon Town.
Last month, Barsky approved the county’s 2018 budget after ordering $18 million in spending cuts to all departments — a first for the seven-member state oversight board.
The NIFA statute does not prohibit board members from holding state positions.
