Cash on hand? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wager

'cash on hand?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for wager that I've seen before include "One making pledge" , "stake required" , "Bet, gamble" , "Risk; stake" , "Put on a bit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
