Le

[TJtacos]

What does it mean when le is attached to a verb in the dictionary? - For example when I look-up bet is has the verb apostarle.

"le" usualmente es un pronombre de la persona
apostarle - bet (una persona)

Pero también significa "to appoint - como en un elección/ect.", lo que tiene más sentido en este caso

Al hombre le apostaste a la posición - you appointed the man to the position

De la RAE
5. intr. Dicho de una persona: Depositar su confianza o su elección en otra persona o en una idea o iniciativa que entraña cierto riesgo.

Nunca había visto verbos en el diccionario que tienen pronombres personales adjuntos

That is the third-person indirect object pronoun. It is attached to an infinitive.
Apostar means to bet.

Your dictionary may be indicating that an indirect object is allowed, as well as a direct object, with the transitive verb (not all transitive verbs take an indirect object, but all take a direct object). Check to see if this is stated in the opening pages of your dictionary.

I've never seen a verb in a Spanish dictionary with the pronoun attached to a verb . Maybe this is an example.

As part of the definition... not the word itself?

Gracias Rusty, ¿Significa sólo "to bet"? No estoy seguro de que signifique también "to appoint". Lo que realmente tiene el mismo sentido. One "bets" with who they pick in office, one could say.
