You should be sure to gamble in hell, but that's only so you can sell back junk for the full 35K.
I really can't say anything about older versions of D2.

I know that for 1.09 the odds weren't as good as they are now.....but other than that the mechanics haven't changed at all. I can't go back any further though as I only played then and didn't study the game at all. I can give you this though:

1.1 Gambling
_________________________________________________________________
As most here surely remember, I had posted much on gambling in the previous version of this thread, most of the information provided was actually for the 1.10 beta (listed on the Arreat Summit), the following are 1.10 specific.
how clvl is involved
Character level determins two things while gambling, the first is what items may be purchased and the second is what item lvl the purchased item will attain.
ilvls are determined by an equation:
ilvl = clvl + rnd[10] - 5
or more simply clvl-5 through clvl+4
odds via uniques, sets, rares
The odds to receive a specific quality are much higher than I had originally expected. The following are the odds for a purchased item to become unique/set/rare.
unique: 1/2000
set: 1/1000
rare: 1/10
magical: 1/~1.1
or percentages:
Uniques: 0.05%
Sets: 0.10%
Rares: 10.00%
Magic: 89.85%
Odds at attainning exceptional/elite versions of the item
here are the equations used to determine whether or not the item will become eceptional or elite:
exceptional = 1 + (ilvl - excep qlvl) * GambleUber / 100
elite = 1 + (ilvl - elite qlvl) * GambleUltra / 100
gambleuber = 90
gambleultra = 33
One last thing I would like to add about gambling is simply this. MagicFind in no way affects gambling.
