action
"Action" as used in gambling typically refers to a bet or wager or just the general act of betting. More specifically, "action" can be used to mean either a live bet/bets or, in poker, a bet along with any calls for that bet.
Action may also refer to the total amount of money wagered by a player in a full gambling session. And in sports betting, a bet may be deemed "action" if it is valid. In baseball, "action" is a special type of bet wherein the bet still counts even if there is a change in starting pitcher, which is accompanied by a change in odds.

Any gesture that serves a purpose - including very subtle gestures such as having a thought, placing your attention on someone, flowing power to somebody, keeping your center, making a conscious or unconscious wish, having an emotional reaction, declaring, asking, choosing, and so on. In general, the more subtle the action, the more energy it contains. (From Possibility Management)
