Went with member — anger regularly taken out with roulette bet (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

partnered

'went with' is the definition.

'member anger regularly taken out with roulette bet' is the wordplay.
'member' becomes 'part' (e.g. member of the family is part of the family).
'regularly taken out' indicates alternate letters (letters removed at regular intervals).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'roulette bet' becomes 'red' (you might bet red or black on a roulette wheel).
The alternating letters of 'anger' are 'ne'.
'part'+'ne'+'red'='PARTNERED'

(Another definition for partnered that I've seen is " support".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
