You have a 1 in 5000 chance to gamble a unique in both CD2 and D2X. Sets are nearly as bad, though I don't know the chance off the top of my head.
Don't bother gambling for anything but rares, for which you have a 1 in 10 chance. If you are looking for good rare double or triple resistance boots, belts, and gloves, CD2 is the place to be, odds wise. It is also the place to be if you want to gamble a rare +2 necro/sorc/pally/zon/barb, prismatic amulet, or imbue a +2 necro skills wand. The odds for these things aren't fantastic, but they are a heck of a lot better than in D2X.
