“Bet” in Japanese is 賭け (kake).

A bet links something valuable to an uncertain result, so success brings a gain while failure brings a loss.

二人は勝者が昼食をおごるという賭けをしました。futa ri wa shō sha ga chū shoku o o go ru to i u ka ke o shi ma shi ta

The two made a bet that the winner would buy lunch.

In the expression 賭けに出る (kake ni deru), 賭け (kake) means taking a risky chance, not necessarily placing money on an outcome.
