A bar on Long Island is in hot water after it reportedly took bets on shooting deaths in New York City and Chicago.
The Cliffton on East Main Street in Patchogue created a gambling pool on which city would see the most shooting deaths over the Labor Day holiday weekend, with the winner offered a cash prize, according to Newsday.
Let the shooting sprees begin! the bar reportedly posted to Instagram last week along with a photo of a Super Bowl-style betting box.
Officials have since expressed outrage over the gambling pool.

Brilliant idea!
Could include Portland, Minneapolis, Los Angeles (which is starting to heat up), Washington DC, Atlanta, Seattle, Oakland, and St. Louis, among others.
Check the bar on Facebook!
I have no idea what you guys are talking about. A google search is not even helping me. :(
Odds would help. How else does the bookie balance the risk?
They are upset at the betting pool and NOT the actual shootings tells you a lot about these people.
Long-GUY-land
Say Lawn Guy Land aloud three times real fast...........
This is their sense of humor commenting on the ridiculousness of de blasio firing a great many experienced police
They know DeBlasio is actually acting to allow Innocent people to have no security. The betting is nothing. Especially in comparison.
Call it September Madness.
Here’s my problem. I’m a binary thinker. It’s great for my profession, IT, but I actually get syntax errors when talking to people sometimes.
So I see LI, and then all the clues, and I’m not getting it. I even said it fast and it made no sense. I assumed it would be a “sofa king” thing, but I’m not hearing it.
I’m clueless. Could someone PM me, please? It’s driving me nuts.
Long Island
Supposedly there were "dozens" of others who showed up.
So what?
The press there always abbreviates “Long Island” as “LI” as if it were a state that’s separate from NY.
I have no problem whatsoever with this. Gotta find something good in all the bad, right?
Long Island is where New Yorkers go to sleep and complain about everywhere else............
This whole time I thought it was a political web site. That’s my binary brain starting with an incorrect premise and being blinded to all but the obvious.
Thank you.
Maybe they should be outraged at the violence and do something to stop THAT.
Now were talking, this should be NationWide and Vegas should setup a New Sports Book, we can call it??
This might help my New York friends Handicap the Shoot-A-Palooza in Chi-Raq this weekend.

A shooting every 2 hours and 5 minutes in Chicago, population 2,700,000.
Come on New York you have been putting up Rookie Numbers!
