It's not a sign of them being spies as in, "targets for counterintelligence". Spies was really a bad description. It's a sign of them being a place to go for intelligence. "Open Sources" is a better description.
It is really no different than someone perusing periodicals. And gambling a lot is certainly not considered a sign of being an enemy agent. If someone is successful at it, it is a sign to pay attention to them. That is, people who want information will gravitate to successful gamblers, bookies, and what not.
