Investment (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stake

'investment' is the definition.
(I know that stake is a type of gamble)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for stake that I've seen before include "Prize" , "stout support" , "Money placed as bet" , "Keats (anag.)" , "A bet or sharpened stick" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and The Sun.
