Well there is a skill in gambling but its different than most regular skills like "playing hockey" or "doing karate".
The skill is basically your emotional balance.
Say you rolled 10 losses in a row at 50/50. Can you stomach the next bet with huge capital?
Most human beings would become sick and scared and they would quit gambling even though the probability says that they would win.
Hence there is some skill to this.
This skill is easier for people with more capital however. A millionaire can easily bet and win/lose $1000 rather than someone with only $2K in his bank account.

There is no way that there is any skills requirement on gambling, what you really need is just luck which is really affect on your result. Like you said roll 10 times on 50% winning chance, if you are luck enough you might win more than 6-7 times and in the end you will get your profit, mean while when luck does not comes, what you got will be 10 losing straight
