Supported by Eric Adams, Big Boss Man
We upgraded Chinatown by denying Asians the opportunity to bet horses and banished them to Nassau County. To add insult to injury Znassau OTB says no Asians allowed because NY Const Art 1 Sec 3 does not protect Asians and any other degenerates
…. Is Great and you all can go to hell
After Chinatown murder, Adams’ commitment to Asian community is questioned
Mayor Eric Adams has wasted little time flaunting his strong ties with New York City’s Asian community, which have been years in the making.
Jan 18, 2018 — The Chinatown OTB was the most profitable branch in the city, said Wellington Chen, executive director of the Chinatown Partnership.

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.
