Stop scratching on holidays
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.

A disbarred Hicksville attorney pleaded guilty Tuesday to stealing a $40,000 down payment from clients who were selling their home, Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas said Wednesday.
Constantine Giannakos, 51, pleaded guilty to a felony count of third-degree grand larceny, with sentencing set for May 10, according to a release from the district attorney’s office. If he hands over the $40,000 restitution at that time, he’s expected to get a sentence of 5 years of probation. If not, the expectation is for 1 to 3 years in prison, the release said.
“He has every intention to pay back the victims, and he will do so in the next few weeks,” said his attorney Eric Franz, who has offices in Mineola and Manhattan. “I am confident that he will not repeat the same mistakes again.”
