Using risk management doesn't make anyone a true gambler, besides I don't believe in any word called true gambler. The fact that you are a gambler makes you a gambler and nothing much we are all thesame titled gamblers.
It is the engagement of a person to gambling is that one can be said to be a true gambler. Regardless they come with a strategy or not, they are called gamblers, and there is no fake gambler that wagers something to have a chance to win something.
From my perspective a true gambler is someone who gambles with real money rather than playing demo games or gambling in their minds without putting it to realistic use.
I agree, wagering using in demo game is not gambling at all, and gambling in mind does not engage gambling thus the person is not in the act of gambling thus that person can't be called a gambler because he is not risking anything of value.
Talking about risk management it's important we all employ risk management so we don't end up spending more than we ought to especially since gamble can play it's tricks with our emotions. Learning to control one's emotion is very important that us, as gamble we should stay disciplined, and set good rule and standards for ourselves.
True, risk management is very important together with bankroll management, and I think people who gamble are always true gamblers but are classified as responsible gamblers and problem gamblers.
I would agree with you on the fact that people sometimes just gamble because they are hoping for a big chance one day, but would disagree that guys who are loss oriented are chasing losses only, some of them are really not chasing losses but are just gambling with hope of making a fortune of it one day but with the knowledge that it might not work out as expected they just put in little to what they can afford to loss hence I consider them really gamblers from forum definition of gamers but in my real life experience those who are called real gamers are those who can ride anything just to gamble whether they win or not.
This kind of gambler who is ok with losses just to have a chance to hit big-time is using calculated risk. Meaning they are ok with losses since it will not affect and lead to financial ruin. We have seen many of this kind in the people who buy lottery tickets.
