disagree  Carlos Heras: This is a literal, inaccurate translation of the source sentence in Spanish.

  -> Do you understand that the word 'bet' is part of corporate lingo?
disagree  Robert Carter: Carlos is absolutely right. In the way it's being used here, "apuesta" has more to do with "hoping" than with "betting".

disagree  Robert Carter: If you wanted to go for this meaning, the noun should be "reliance" (and not plural). I don't believe that's the idea in any case.

an international scope


Explanation:
I think in this case is not about the gamble, but about the scope of the company, the possible market or the aspirations. We may need to have more information to decide the best translation.
