WHY DO MOST PEOPLE ROOT FOR THE UNDERDOG?
Rooting or beting on someone is something everyone did at least once. We chose our favorite in mostly everything from sports to politics. But why do we usually root for the so called "underdogs"? I think that rooting for the underdogs ads up some sort of excitment and entertaiment to a battle, rivalry, because we chose to support someone who is not counted as a possible champion or winner. So if that side (a team, a person) wins it is an unexpected event. And people usually like it when someone better or more confident losses to someone he is supposed to destroy. So if there will be a next opportunity they will also support the underdog to feel more satisfied and knowledgeable about this subject if he unexpectedly wins. We mostly support the underdogs to feel better if they win and identify with them.
