Authorities are investigating a Long Island bar that posted on Instagram that it was taking bets on whether Chicago or New York City would see more shootings over Labor Day weekend.
The Cliffton, a bar in Patchogue, New York, shared photos of a paper grid hung in the bar with patrons placing bets on the number of shootings in the two cities, Newsday reported Tuesday. The winner would take home an unspecified cash prize.

Are they denying these shootings/murders don't occur every damn weekend?
Good grief!

People will bet on just about anything.
What exactly are the authorities investigating?
What the hell are authorities “investigating” this establishment for? Improper Group-think? Hate-thought?
Maybe if law enforcement spent some time enforcing actual laws these wouldn’t be such interesting bets.
I’ll put $5.00 on Chicago coming out on top...
Wanna start a body count death pool here? I’ll put $5 on Chiraq.......
They shouldn’t have posted about it.
Can’t ANYONE stay off of social media, anymore???
Sounds like a cool place to hang.
I am not sure this falls under sports betting.
How much de Blasio and Lightfoot have bet and any attendant rigging.
I dont see an issue here.
We all know Chicago is worse, on average.
Maybe the authorities should spend more time investigating the gang bangers, rather than those betting on them.
Ordinarily I’d put my money on Chicago; however, DJT has a bunch of Feds in there now, so it could be a contest.
I’ll still go with Chi.
Reminds me of the ‘good old days’ when one would bet on which fly landed closest to or how high up the wall etc..
Used to snatch them out of mid air, pull a wing off and let them run themselves to death in a circle.
Also have a good ‘recipe’ for ridding oneself of ‘little itchy critters’.
Which brings up the age old question...
What do you call a fly with no wings????
A WALK......I know...I can hear the groan from here.
I don’t know about that...
It has hunting, running, driving
C'mon man, de Blasio has defunded the NY police just in time for Labor Day, you may want to hold your bets.
OK, they were slammed for it. But are they still taking bets?
Hell, NYC is bellyaching about hitting 1000 shootings while CHI has topped 2800. It’s almost embarrassing, and NYC has around 6 million more targets.
