Four places · Index 2 lemma satse · working claim, revisable
Voice[Bettor] + (Opponent unprinted on satse) + √SATS-( Stake object ) + (på · side or enterprise · open as Proposition)
Index 2 lists satse (Vol. 7). It does not list vedde. Bokmålsordboka and Nynorskordboka gloss satse as putting in money or resources, investing. They print a stake object (en hundrelapp, alle pengene sine, all sin arbeidskraft) and på for an enterprise or an undertaking (på bedriften, på noe, på korndrift). They do not print an Opponent. Whether på is the Proposition of a wager, or the thing invested in, stays open. vedde is discussed below as a dictionary companion. It is not the headword of this page.
What is different from English bet Paul 5 BTC. On the Index 2 verb there is one object, the stake or the resources, and no second bare person. The person, when a wager verb prints one, is med on companion vedde, not a bare object of satse.

Bokmål gloss of satse: “sette inn penger eller ressurser; investere”. Nynorsk: “setje inn pengar eller ressursar”. Further Bokmål lines: satse en hundrelapp; satse all sin arbeidskraft på noe; satse på korndrift. Nynorskordboka also lists satsa beside satse. The gloss is invest. på korndrift is grain farming, not a proposition that it will rain.
Companion vedde, Bokmålsordboka, from Old Norse veðja: “gjøre veddemål; satse (penger eller lignende)”. Printed: vedde med noen om noe; skal vi vedde?; han veddet 100 kr på at de tok feil; vedde ti mot en; jeg vedder på at jeg har rett. Nynorskordboka: vedde med nokon om noko; ho vedda 100 kr på at ho hadde rett; vedde ti mot ein. On that companion the Opponent is oblique med. The stake can be an object (100 kr) or om noe. The proposition is på at. English bare bet Paul is not copied. ti mot en is odds, not an Opponent.

Events · settlement not entailed
The dictionaries gloss satse as putting resources in. They do not say the putting-in entails a win. Companion vedde is “gjøre veddemål”. The later taking of a stake is not printed as part of either verb’s frame.
Marking · structural stake, oblique person only on the companion
On satse the one structural object is the money or the resources. på is oblique. An Opponent is not in those examples, so it is not given a case here. On vedde the person is med (oblique), the stake may be an object, and om noe is a second, vaguer stake cloth in the frame vedde med noen om noe. The object stake and om are not stacked in the 100 kr på at line. Ranking those two stake cloths on vedde stays open. på at is the proposition of the companion, not a second object.
On betale the dictionaries print an object that is the debt or the amount, and for+DP for what the money is paid for. They print no Recipient. satse likewise prints an object and på, and no person. The roots still differ: betale is payment; satse is glossed as investing. Companion vedde is the line that prints a wager’s med.
Proposition · open on satse, på at on vedde
- på on satse. Printed with a firm, with “something”, and with grain farming. Those are undertakings. Whether a clause can be the object of that på was not printed. The Proposition of a wager on this lemma stays open.
- på at on vedde. Printed: på at de tok feil, på at jeg har rett, Nynorsk på at ho hadde rett. That is a content clause. It belongs to the companion.
- One measure phrase. 100 kr and en hundrelapp are one object each. No source splits the numeral from the unit as two objects.
- V2. The finite verb moves as a whole. That is clause shape, not a fifth argument. fra on trekke fra is a preposition of a different root.
Voice · passive unprinted
Bokmålsordboka and Nynorskordboka do not print a bli-passive of the stake of satse or of vedde. The passive stays open. It is not copied from betale, where bli promotes the measure and få is out. A prediction, not a citation: if the stake is the object, that object is the candidate promotee, and med on vedde would stay a prepositional phrase.
