Casino employees would wear masks and gloves, and gamblers would sit at least a chair apart at blackjack tables. 

i can see some of those gamblers becoming robinhood traders lolapparently, mr.market liked the unemployment report very much today...

It's a gamble really - my term for it is the CGT - the Consumer Gambling Threshold - That is in fact the force that sets the appraisal fee, not the appraiser.

Mind you there were a LOT of lucky gamblers, at least in the GTA over the past decade.  

This makes us take on higher risk.When the tenant doesn't pay, we hate the idea of losing rent so we let them stay and hope they pay as promised.When the cheap contractor doesn't finish the job or doesn't do it right, we hate to lose what we've already invested in the project and hate having to pay even more to do it right.When I knew the house would be a loser, I doubled down like a gambler when I should have walked.Don't let loss aversion make you risk tolerant!  

As real estate investors, builders, etc. we have to be gamblers to a certain degree.

@J ScottI agree, I'm not a gambler either. 

I am not much of a gambler...heck, whenever I end up at a casino (with friends or a group that goes there) I lose all of my money at the bar.

They are gamblers as getting just one "unlucky" house can knock out their cash and get them out of the market all together for some time.
