Ok, I've gone on at some length about this elsewhere so will give my abbreviated answer -- and it sounds like you're sort of waking up to what I am going to tell you anyway:
If I was to come on this forum and say "Hey I'm a drug fiend and I'm just looking for a way to get more drugs cheaply or for free," I would be treated with (well-deserved) contempt and probably banned. But for some reason, gambling addicts and other similarly enslaved types (not referring to the OP specifically, so don't get all upset), are for some reason viewed as being more legitimate than dope fiends, even though their cause is much less winnable.
Er, but anyway: If you said to Labezerin "I want to learn more about statistics and odds-making so I can win more at gambling" you likely would have something to brag about by now, but you didn't think of that. Instead, you figured the fastest way to what you want is to jump in the middle of the river, in the swiftest part of the current. Nope.
I recently learned that someone I know has a gambling addiction. This person also has practiced magic from time to time, and I have even ritualized with them a time or two. I was wondering at a drastic change in this person's behavior toward me, and that was eventually the explanation my research arrived at. Ironically, this is the person who got me interested in the NAP initially, many years ago.
If I was one of these intelligences, I would maybe get a little annoyed from time to time at being importuned solely for gambling luck. If you feel you need luck in gambling, Labezerin has news for you, perhaps: You need luck in more than gambling.
