I'm not talking about GW2 gambling, I'm talking about gambling in general.

yup, as a said there is still a house here, the algorithm that guarantees that over time you will lose, otherwise ecto prices would be 1 copper by now (i.e unless you are just playing against other humans there is a house involved)

If you are gambling in a casino, then house always wins. If it were otherwise, they would not be in this business in the first place.

Have you ever heard of Poker?

If you are playing poker in a casino, the house takes a cut of every pot - they have to make their money somehow.

Caribbean stud poker is played against the House, same as Blackjack. I only play table games for fun; the odds are definitely not in the players' favour. We won a hand of poker in Vegas with 4 aces and "only" got a payout of $500.

Off topic, but Craps is my game of choice. Some of the bets offer the truest odds in the casino, and even if you are betting with small stakes, there can be thousands of dollars of other players' money riding on your throw of the dice 🙂

Many types of poker are played against other players.  The house takes a cut for providing the service.  In Vegas, there are people that spend their weekend looking for tables with weak players.  A good poker player can make decent money doing this.  Don't play against the house, play against other players.
