Gambler's bet (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ante

(Other definitions for ante that I've seen before include "Fixed stake" , "Stake put up by a poker-player before receiving cards" , "Money for poker" , "Stake (that may be upped?)" , "Player's stake in poker - a ten? (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
