The differences are A) I know the people I've made bets with and they can and will pay me when I win. and B) They are making a straight bet while classic wants to make a parlay bet. He wants me to make 2 bets for the price of one. He wants me to bet that Obama will win, and then bet that after he wins he'll bring the troops home from Iraq within 18 months.

I am betting that Obama will win the election with my friends and family. Classic is neither of those. He's not even a decent person. In fact nobody who supports the Bush administration or the war in Iraq is a decent person or worthy of using the term "American" to describe themselves.

I've offered to consider making a bet with him after the election, but he isn't interested because he wants me to make a parlay bet with a single bet odds and payout. As a rule, I don't make parlay bets. I make regular bets and only when I know the person has enough honor, integrity, and ability to pay me when I win.

I grew up in Vegas and I consider a bet to be a big deal and welshers to be criminals.
