    The #1 Reason Why BBall is better to bet the Football
    There is a lot more scoring in basketball....which is obvious, but it makes it easier for a comeback.

    In NFL, if your team is down 17-0, that's 3 possessions and at least 1 quarter, unless you have fast offense and 3 and out on D

    In NBA, a 10 pt gm can easily shift in a matter of 1:30 seconds. Defense and quick shots....even wasting the 24 or 35 second shot clock, you are guaranteed to get ball back in a short time and you can go back to scoring

    I'm not saying Basketball is better than NFL, but when your team is losing, you feel better in basketball than NFL

    and why

    b/c scoring is more frequent

    At least that is my opinion

    DO WORK

    i think the best reason is simply more opportunity because there is more games ..might be bad or good but still more chances to make up a bad day or go on a huge run

      well in NFL you have
      1:00
      4:15 if needed
      then BAIL OUT at 8:15
      HUGE BAIL OUT MNF

      Basketball is
      7:00..some at 7:30
      8:00
      9:30
      10:00
      Bailout 10:30

      Games take 2:30, so you may only have a few slots to get gms in

            Every NFL game means something. NBA players take some games off. Even worse in MLB.

                    Once again a Sammy thread that makes no sense. Basketball is better to bet on because teams come back more? What if the team you bet on in football is the one UP by 3 possessions and the team you bet on in basketball blows a huge lead?

What if there were a snapping of fingers that broke the hypnosis?

                      It is relevent in the sport, too big of a lead & you can't come back in either one. I really don't think it's a valid point. But what do I know?
                      I think the comeback aspect of it is there will be 20 more games tomorrow night if you have a bad day in hoops. Have a bad day in football you're paying the fukin man!!!!!

                          I'd rather be down 14 points with 2:00 minutes left & Peyton Manning taking the field than down 10 in any basketball game with 2:00 left! STUPID!!!!!!

                                being down 10 in bball is no where near equivalent to being down 17 in football

                                  I like the fact that there seems to be more consistency. Weather and turnovers play much smaller roles.

                                    Maybe, but only in the regular season.

                                      Hmm ... Hard to argue this but I think simply for the losing team you are making sense ... I just feel like u feel In those when a team is going to make a run I'm basketball that is but I guess same could be argued for football so whatever haha
