Here's a pic of Phil Ivey, playing in a poker tournament where he'd already paid the entry fee (which is to say, he needed no cash for the game itself, except to handle the side bets about what color the flop would be, or whether the turn would be higher or lower than a 7)
Look at his left foot...
Gamblers are astonishingly careless with cash because having it on their person is in no way an "exceptional occasion"
Same is true for people who shop estate sales or cash only auctions
