Put together a list of probabilities with gambling plays from real games mixed in with other things.
Example:
Struck by lightning
Lottery win
Plane crash
Full card bingo
How is this different than all the usual risk lists?
Because this risk list has a gaming focus and all other things.
What's the point?
Nothing, or perhaps someone saying, oh yeah, I know the possibility of that happening is equal to hitting a homerun in baseball, or being bitten by shark...
And that list will be found on your site. And people will refer to it.
Or you could make online calculator that puts out the same info. That would protect the info from being copied easily so it would stay here.
(had nothing better to do, so making possibly uninteresting suggestion)

But make it an intelligent analysis rather than the routine stats we hear on TV
Struck by lightning .... discuss how this is geographically skewed and often strikes tourists who are ignorant of the dangers
Lottery win ... discuss also the risks to oneself and others of driving seven miles to go get a ticket.
Plane crash ... discuss airliners versus general aviation; professional pilots versus recreational pilots, etc.
Full card bingo... discuss charity bingo versus Vegas bingo and bingo advantage plays such as bonuses and inclement weather.
RMS Titanic ... only four deaths in the Atlantic crossing in all steamships in the prior twenty years.
Yachts "crossing the ditch" (Tasman Sea).
A full erudite discussion would be likely to draw visitors.

Huh? I think that one went right over my head.
