Let 'em gamble elite uniques. If the chance for uniques is 1 in 5,000, that still doesn't include the chance for it to be elite, which is something like what...20%? Gee, one in twenty-five THOUSAND gambles gets me an elite unique? Sounds about fair since that's about how many monsters you'd have to kill for one anyhow. Let all the non-ladder items be gambled. One in four thousand for elite sets? You mean SIXTEEN THOUSAND gambles might actually land me Griswold's set? Gee, that almost sounds doable. Of course they do this to keep the number of elite uniques on the realms down - but it would be nice to use full sets in single player.
The solution, as I've been saying since 1.08, is to have different gambling rates for SP and realms. One in 200/500 sounds much more fair to single player. Even 1.06 wasn't exactly making full sets or exceptional uniques easy to get when it was more like one in 20/50.

Edit: Just saw this on Arreat; The chance for Exceptional items is 1 in 1111 (or 9 in 10,000) and the chance for Elite items is 1 in 1 in 3030 (or 33 in 100,000). You will mostly get Magic items which may or may not be worth anything to you (hence Gambling).
......
Sooo...your chance at Windforce as it stands is about...1 in 15,150,000. Yeah, I don't think we have to worry about Windforces flooding the realms via gambling.
