    陪 is a typo. Try "一賠二十"

一賠二十 means that when you use N dollars to bet. If you win you get 20N dollars. If you lose, you lose N dollars.

In this example, 的 show that something before 的(一赔二十) is used to describe another thing after 的(赌注).

賭注 means gamble.

啊 is audible sound that show your emotion.

    To be more precise, 赌注 means wager, not gamble.

    [A dollars ] looks like 'a dollar'. I suggest use (N) instead. - "when you use (N) dollars to bet, you will get 20(N) dollars if you win, or lose (N) dollars if you lose

Others' answers are completely correct.

To be precise from a more gambling point of view, 一赔二十 can mean either bet 1 get 20 back in total, or bet 1 get 20 as profit plus your initial bet (ie 21 in total). You may need to ask for clarification if you are considering putting millions on it.
