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.

In gambling it doesn't matter how well a gambler manages his gambling, he cannot guarantee his victory or defeat, but as a real gambler, he has some qualities that are very helpful for his long gambling. A real gambler can take risks in gambling. Even if he loses, he does not feel disappointed. He knows that thinking about a losing bet is just a waste of time. Again, a real gambler can control himself in any situation in gambling. There are many gamblers who become more greedy after winning and at some point they lose all the money they won. Being a real gambler does not mean that their winnings will be more, but their gambling results are comparatively better than others.
