You're assuming that the players who gambled would have otherwise voted Yes. I'm not sure that's entirely true - for example, would fobi really be voting Yes on every single proposal if the Gamble option didn't exist?
There have also been some proposals where I initially voted No, then decided that A) the proposal would almost certainly pass, and B) I didn't care that much anyway; and ended up changing my vote to Gamble.
As far as the issue of too much confidence in a proposal causing it to fail, I think that's just part of what makes gambling interesting.
