Person destined to be taken advantage of (informal) (5)

I believe the answer is:

loser

(Other definitions for loser that I've seen before include "One who frequently fails (colloq.)" , "One not winning" , "Defeated competitor" , "Unsuccessful competitor" , "lemon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
