What to gamble for other than . . .

rings and amulets? I seem to recall that 1.10 reintroduced an infinitesimal
chance for sets and uniques. I also remember hearing that circlets were a
good bet as well.

Yep, I also gamble coronets.

Recently I've also been gambling assassin claws, hoping for one with +3
traps, and +skills to the lightning traps. But a good one with +3 shadow
claw and some +skills to something like Shadow Master would be nice too.

Yep, imbueing Diadem is a good use of Imbues. And the result of that, or
if you ever gamble a rare diadem, should be kept by you and you should
start rerolling it with the 6 Pskulls + rare item recipe: the resulting
diadem, as long as you do the rerolling with a lvl 8+ char (or
thereabouts) can get all possible mods, including +2 skills..

Happy gambling!

Patrick.

For low-level untwinked characters, I seem to gamble better rare belts
and merc polearms than I can find on the ground or in the shops, and
the price is decent, as compared to, say, armor. And boots and
gloves, since this is pre-crafting. In fact, that's probably a good
rule of thumb - if you have the materials on hand to craft stuff,
you're too high-level to gamble (exceptions: coronets and sometimes
circlets if you're unlucky, and of course rings and amulets).
