[Star Trek] Han supposedly "won" the Falcon from Lando somehow. But what if it had gone the other way? What did Lando stand to gain?

I have to think that for Lando to wager one of the best ships of its class in the galaxy, Han would have had to put up something very valuable. Was Han once rich? Or did he have some other, fabulous ship to throw in the pot?

In Rebel Dawn they explain that the wager was during the final round of the 2 BBY Cloud City Sabacc Tournament in Bespin. The buy in was 10,000 CR so you can imagine the stakes were very high. In the heat of the moment Lando promised any ship on his lot on top of his bet in order to get Han Solo all in. Lando never intended the Millenium Falcon to be an option as it was his personal ship and not for sale, but he was sure he would win the hand anyway and stuck to his poorly worded offer when Han later insisted he would only take the Falcon.

Interestingly enough Lando had won the Falcon at the same tournament three years prior from Cix Trouvee. Trouvee had a notorious gambling habit and owed the Hutt's much more than he could scrape together. He used the Falcon as collateral for his entry into the tournament so that he could pay back his prior losses.
