Upsets

thumb|In the battle between David and [[Goliath, David is an archetypal example of an underdog.]] An underdog is a person or group participating in a competition, usually sports and creative works, who is largely expected to lose. The party, team, or individual expected to win is called the favorite or top dog. In the case where an underdog wins, the outcome is an upset. An "underdog bet" is a bet on the underdog or outsider for which the odds are generally higher.
