Live television to start with gamble (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bet

'gamble' is the definition.
(betting is a kind of gambling)

'live television to start' is the wordplay.
'live' becomes 'be' (synonyms).
'to start' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'television' is 't'.
'be'+'t'='BET'

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for bet that I've seen before include "22 across will accept one" , "Speculation" , "Wager, speculate" , "'Stake, wager (3)'" , "Wager, or the sum waged" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
