Note: this thread is a necro from 2013, but in any case:
For most relatively simple games of chance, a 'success' at gambling will give you the optimal betting method. For games with a true house edge, this just means you lose money at a rate that corresponds to the house edge, while a fail means you lose money
faster than that. These gambling rolls are generally quite easy.
Some games can actually be beaten under specific conditions, in which case a successful Gambling roll (often at a substantial penalty) will cause you to gain money, a failure will still cause you to lose money. Blackjack is a classic example of this.
