Dublin money once used for gamble (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

punt

This clue is a double definition.

'dublin money once' is the first definition.
(pre-Euro currency of Ireland)

'for gamble' is the second definition.
(to take a punt is to gamble)

'used' is the link.

(Other definitions for punt that I've seen before include "Pole-propelled boat" , "Flat-bottomed boat propelled by pole" , "Boat; Irish ex-currency" , "Stake" , "Riverboat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
