Gave gambling money to (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

staked

(Other definitions for staked that I've seen before include "laid" , "At desk (anag.)" , "Bet, wagered" , "Wagered or gave financial support to" , "Wagered with sharp sticks? (6)" .)

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