I don't gamble. The only time that gaming for fun, is fun, is when the opponents are all so evenly matched that it comes down to your skills against his*. As it is, the skill set match is, in 99.999% of cases, not at that level.
That means either my opponent's skill set is so much better than mine that I'm going to lose, or mine is so much better than yours that I'm going to win. Neither case I found enjoyable. rip * or hers. Specifically my Grandmother and my mom...both of whom were of the "little old ladies with a house and a maid" variety gamblers.
