I guess this depends on the house percentage for the bet being made.

For sports betting, I found this site that describes the house edge.

If 7% is really the edge, I think that you can do better elsewhere for MSing activities. For example, just using the IRS payment site with a credit card costs between 1.5-2.5% and doesn't require gambling anything
