It is called “hedging your happiness”
If you say you are worried/concerned/etc and think VCU will win you are simply hedging your happiness.

VCU wins? You were right and even though you wanted BYU to win you were a realist who just made the right call. Your self-worth is preserved.

BYU wins? Phew, that’s what you wanted anyway and you are super happy your team won. Self-worth is preserved.

It is the crutches for those who are too weak to stand on their own convictions and say what they really want. Guaranteed you are still working at McDonalds as a 40-year old assistant manager hoping Trump’s no tax on tips pulls through — either that or you are an accountant!

For those in doubt, I am kidding about the weak comments — but willing to put forth the premise that all of us on here today suggesting VCU wins under the hedging your happiness doctrine are accountants. It is in their nature.
