A bet (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wager

'a bet' is the definition.
(I know that bet can be written as wager)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for wager that I've seen before include "Put on a bit" , "Bet, gamble" , "better to put this on?" , "One making pledge" , "(Place a) stake" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
