Another answer:

The phrase 'to take a punt', or just the verb '(to) punt' means to lay, or place, a bet; to gamble. For example:

'The weather looked bad for swimming but we decided to take a punt on the sun coming out and go to the beach anyway.'

'He's a born gambler; he'll take a punt on anything.'

The verb 'punt' is also used in the sense of giving up, or stop (doing) something. For example:

'They're going to punt on it; we thought they'd give up in the end.'

'We tried several options before we decided to punt on the whole idea.'
