Initial bet (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ante

'initial bet' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ante that I've seen before include "Money for poker" , "Money put at risk" , "Stake, bet" , "Preceding birth" , "Initial contribution to the common pot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, the Penny Press and The Guardian.
