We read a lot about gamblers who are very aware of the risks of losing, and because of that awareness, they’re already willing to lose even before they start gambling. What happens is, they become more loss-oriented (to stay in control) instead of win-oriented.
So for you guys -- do we still consider them real gamblers?
Surely it depends on what you consider to be real Gambler or not. From your own narration you are trying to say that real gamblers become more loss-oriented to stay in control instead of win oriented. What if I tell you that real gamblers are opposite of what you have said, meaning that they are win oriented to stay in but expirence more loses. Because I see that real gamblers often have the mindset of winning and that is what keep them goin, but they end up losing.
