Bets over the phone for some meat (6)
I believe the answer is:
steaks
'bets' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'over the phone for some meat' is the wordplay.
'over the phone' becomes 's' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'some meat' becomes 'steak' (steak is a kind of meat).
's' put after 'steak' is 'STEAKS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for steaks that I've seen before include "Cuts of meat" , "They can be round, T-bone or fillet" .)
