If you got a red card for flopping, your referee didn't know the Laws of the Game. A flop can only be a caution for unsporting behavior.

I believe the basketball rule and soccer laws on faking fouls are pretty similar as written. But soccer actually uses its rule -- probably because there is more need to have a sanction because of the more extreme injustice if the referee is fooled. But that also puts more pressure on the referee -- and players keep faking because the potential gain (a PK = almost sure goal) is greater than the likelihood of getting called and the potential sanction. I've seen a T for faking in basketball exactly once -- there was a full foot of space between the defender and the dribbler when he flung himself backwards in agony.
