I think anyone with a brain (which hopefully is most people on CM!) is aware that playing a negative expectation game results in a mathematical certainty that they'll lose if they play long enough. Personally speaking I pay for entertainment, I'd prefer to spend an hour at a casino than go bowling, for example. There are a few areas with exceptions, such as players who strictly play PE with particular bonuses/pay tables that pop up now and again - but on the most part I'd say that anyone who hasn't accepted that they're going to lose is what you'd call a problem gambler.
"Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness." - Immanuel Kant
