What To Do With All That Gold?

My 91 MF summoning Necro has pluses to extra gold and is awash in the
stuff. I guess the only thing I can do with it is gamble, but what to
gamble on? Since I am able to gamble +2 Skills amulets I've been doing
those, but what else makes sense? Circlets? Is it even worth doing,
since my chances of getting anything worth trading seem to be pretty
slim.

Also, does leveling up to 92 or 93, or higher, open any doors with
regard to what I can gamble, or improve my chances of getting the high
value stuff?

Me, I ONLY gamble on 2 items, rings (looking for either a dual leech rings
or a 10%FCR with 15-20 STR), and circlets (looking for +2 skills with 2
holes and either 20%FCR or 30%RW). Amulets are OK to gamble if you do not
have a high level char, but if you do, or know someone who does (like me),
you are better off crafting for amulets, as that's where the large fish
swim. A +2 skills, 15-20%FCR ammy is worth a ton, and if it has some other
interesting mods, such as RA or high STR, it can trade for numbers that are
simply astounding.

Also, if you are looking to gamble +2 all skills amys, you need to be level
86. Your chances improve by 10% per level to 95, when all gambled amys have
a chance for +2.

What you gamble depends on what you need most (obviously). I only gamble
coronets and amys, looking for +2 all skills with good mods. In Hell mode,
you also have a chance to gamble a rare diadem when gambling coronets, which
can be rerolled indefinitely for another chance at a nice +2 hat using
pskulls. AFAIK, circlets do not have a chance to be diadems when gambled.

I also craft amys, but the darn things often come with very high level
requirements, so keep that in mind if you don't have a stable of clvl 94+
chars.
