At bottom, you can bet it with confidence (6)
I believe the answer is:
dollar
'at' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both quantities as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dollar that I've seen before include "US currency" , "100 cents" , "American's ready" , "Standard monetary unit of many countries" , "Foreign currency" .)
