NEW YORK OTB

[RECON]

I WAS IN NEW YORK (ON LONG ISLAND) OVER THE WEEKEND AND PLAYED CHURCHILL AT THE OTB. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO HIT A NICE TRIFECTA AT CHURCHILL FRIDAY FOR $1350--- IN ADDITION TO THE FACT IT WAS A SIGNER, THE OTB TAKE OUT WAS ALMOST $100---- HOW DO THE PLAYERS FROM NEW YORK FEEL ABOUT THIS LARGE OTB CHARGE?

I assume that you did not go to the Suffolk County Long Island Teletheater where there are comfortable surroundings and no such surcharge.

Recon,You could open a day account and maintain a balance of $300.00 and not be subject to the 5% OTB surcharge.

THANKS MUCH FOR THE INFO---CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME THE LOCATION OF THE SUFFOLK COUNTY LONG ISLAND TELETHEATER? I KNOW THE GENERAL AREA OF ISLIP, SMITHTON, RONKONKOMA, ETC----------

If you are not a professional gambler,wait till the IRS wants its cut when you file your taxes this year.Thats when you will wonder if it was worth it.
