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.
Craig Carton gets three and a half years in prison for $7 million ticket resale scam as he seeks legal advice on the payoff for killing ny pml sec 109 so that the nassau otb faithful may bet great racing. boom out goes andrew i hate horse bettors cuomo
Disgraced sports radio host Craig Carton was sentenced to three and a half years in prison Friday in a nearly $7 million ticket resale scam meant to pay off his gambling debts — as the judge admitted she was a fan before haranguing him.
The 50-year-old shock jock begged for no prison in Manhattan federal court but couldn’t sway Judge Colleen McMahon.
“Colleen from New York. First time, long time,” the jurist greeted Carton.
Then she laced into him.
“Your marriage is over, your kids are terrified … reputation in tatters,” she said, as the dad of four sat expressionless. “Craig Carton, you have indeed descended into a hell of your own making.”
On top of the 42-month sentence, Carton was ordered to complete 150 hours of community service and pay $4.8 million in restitution.
Carton, who rose to fame as the brash half of WFAN’s “Boomer and Carton” show, convinced deep-pocketed hedge funders to plunk down millions of dollars for blocks of tickets to Adele, Metallica and Barbra Streisand shows.
He promised big returns on resales — but never delivered.
Instead, Carton kept about $4.8 million for himself, using the cash in a Ponzi-like scheme to pay off debts he accrued as part of a gambling addiction gone awry.
In court, as he begged for a no-prison sentence, Carton admitted he was driven to a life of crime by “demons.”Enlarge Image![Today's cover of the New York Post with Craig Carton]()
“Your honor, my name is Craig C. and I’m a compulsive gambler,” he told McMahon. “I’m truly powerless over this disease.”
Prosecutors asked for a sentence between five and seven years.
Carton claimed he was trying to get his real ticket-selling business off the ground when he fell into gambling and also claimed he was a victim of sexual abuse as a child.
He said he turned to gambling to escape that pain.
“I never intended to take money from people and not pay them back,” he said in court. “I had grandiose plans about how we would all make money together.”
But in a lengthy lecture, McMahon noted, “A gambling addiction is not an excuse for stealing from people or defrauding people.”
“You broke the compact, so you have to take a timeout from society,” she added.
Carton opened up about how his compulsive habit cost him his family in a five-minute video titled “The Reckoning,” which was set to be released after his sentencing but was viewed by The Post’s Phil Mushnick the day before.
McMahon also received a copy of the video prior to sentencing but she didn’t say whether she watched it.
“Thank you, Mr. Mushnick,” the jurist said sarcastically as she held up the front page of Friday’s Post about Carton’s video.
A jury convicted Carton of conspiracy, wire fraud and securities fraud in November.
He had faced up to 45 years but was expected to get far less under federal sentencing guidelines.
He split from his widely listened to sports talk show — which he hosted with former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason — immediately following his September 2017 arrest.
Carton has paid back $50,000 to the investors he swindled, according to court papers.
His surrender date was set for July 15.
He had no comment as he left court.
