Crossword Genius

Back in the Globe Theatre (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bet

'back' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'in the globe theatre' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'BET' can be found hidden inside 'globe theatre'.

(Other definitions for bet that I've seen before include "'Stake, wager (3)'" , "Speculation" , "Wager, or the sum waged" , "22 across will accept one" , "Money risked on a gamble" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
