I think “slacker” would be a better word than Rao’s “loser” for this group. Their chief characteristic is that they don’t work very hard because there’s little benefit for them if they do. “Loser” seems needlessly pejorative—their actions are reasonable given their situations and risk tolerance (usually risk-averse). “Slacker” seems to define them better.

I like this. For the others maybe ‘Believers’ and ‘Ruthless.’
