My dad bet on Betamax. The thing is, it wasn't "the best" in every way. VHS tapes ran longer, allowing more movies to be recorded on a single tape. They also allowed smaller read heads (meaning VHS camcorders that played back way before a Beta got there, no separate playback deck required). Oh, and don't forget it was a Sony format, the kiss of death since... Betamax lol.
