With New Yorkers setting a new record in the month of October betting on sports it should come as no surprise that making the game 'a little more interesting' appeals to the masses.
This week Long Island town supervisors Dan Panico of Brookhaven and Joseph Saladino of Oyster Bay made a friendly bet. The bet between the two will be on the outcome of the Division 1 Long Island Football championship between William Floyd and Massapequa high schools taking place this Saturday at Stony Brook University.
Panico started the discussion on Facebook proposing that if William Floyd wins the game, Saladino will make a donation to the charity of his choice. He also requested that Saladino treat him to All-American, a hamburger place in Massapequa that is renowned as being one of the best in the entire country. If Massapequa wins, Panico said he will donate to a charity of Saladino’s choice and they will have lunch at the famous Mama Lisa Restaurant in Mastic.
Often politicians of different areas have these friendly bets and it's great that donations will go to a good cause no matter who wins this week.
