Take a chance on a girl? (3)

I believe the answer is:

bet

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'take a chance' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'girl?' is the second definition.

'on a' is the link.

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

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
