Why do keep wanting to root for the clear losing party? Like I already know she basically has no chance but the fact she's just so cute about her crush on him makes it extra painful.
@Foreverkidd It's the Underdog Syndrome. An easy, predictable victory is boring, and people identify with being in a losing position and wanting to come out on top, so we root for the underdog to surprise everyone and prevail, no matter how unlikely it is.
I know it's almost certainly a losing bet, but there have been surprises before, I'm pulling for Jimi Yuzuko all the way.
@Foreverkidd
I agree with @Bufuman, I wouldn't bet all in Hakua, it's still possible (just think about 5Toubun no Hanayome, the least expected winner).
