The odds are better now than they were in 1.09, but much less than what you were used to in "the dawn of time." Basically, Blizzard wanted to stop making gambling a "unique shop." However, rares and even magical items can be quite good now, so gambling is still definitely worth it. Most people concentrate on gambling circlets (which can have just about any suffix or prefix that can appear on any items), rings, and amulets. However, there's also a chance of getting exceptional and elite items when gambling weapons and armor. And, anyway, if you get a normal weapon or armor that has really good mods on it, then you can use the new cube recipes to upgrade it.
