I am having trouble trying to work out the true meaning of APOSTAR/APOSTA in this article. I know it is defined in the dictionary as "bet" or "to bet" but that does not seem to be what is meant here in these 2 sentences:
"Melo defendeu uma maior APOSTA na prevenção para preservar o valioso património histórico, artístico e cultural existente em Portugal."
"O ideal seria APOSTAR mais na prevenção, criando condições, com poucos investimentos, para que as obras possam ser preservadas".
"Melo defendeu uma maior APOSTA na prevenção para preservar o valioso património histórico, artístico e cultural existente em Portugal."
"O ideal seria APOSTAR mais na prevenção, criando condições, com poucos investimentos, para que as obras possam ser preservadas".
