probably basketball because if its coming down to free throws it can go back and forth in a hurry

baseball is also bad if your pitcher cant find the strike zone with bases juiced or something

football isn't as bad to me but sucks if your team blows it because it might be the only game I bet all week

it is torture. look what happened with the warriors blowing a 40 pt lead and 24 pt spread today. but im just saying regardless of the sport the game with more money is the stressful one imo. which for me is football.

The last furlong of a horse race when your heavily bet to win 8 to 1 shot is neck and neck with two or three others horses all driving to the finish line.


Add the time waiting for the call if your horse ends up in a photo finish for the win spot.

I was going to put Horse Racing (it's my favorite sport) but I thought no one would select it cause the last furlong lasts only about 12 secs..

It's so hard to pick. I voted other only because ALL of them are equally as stressful to me. And believe me, i've gotten sick off all of them after a bad loss. I know how it feels.


ALSO, breakpoints in tennis are up there with baskets/foots and bases.

Pretty simple answer considering football is the most wagered on sport. But on consistency basis I would say basketball..

So many spreads/gms decided on free throws and fouls etc..

I think its easily basketball. To many factors involved. In baseball, even if the pitcher has the sacks packed. The guy still only has 30% chance of being successful against him. Football, depends on the score. If the team is up by 8 or more, then yes. For some reason teams think being up 8 is like being up 2 scores. I know they have to get the 2 pointer, but come on.

Auto racing

Driving for the win, another guy on your tail, if you get taken out you are down a TON of money and don't win the race, if you win your up a TON of money and your racing career is advanced.

So, final stretch in a close auto race with a lot on the line (i.e. professional racing).

Last two minutes of a bball game (if it's close to covering/not covering)...just because there can be some meaningless baskets, fouls, and free throws.

The last 2 minutes of basketball sucks. I don't even like watching it because some random bullshit will decide whether you cover or not. The last drive of football is a nailbitter.
