Betting I received a tap (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spigot

'a tap' is the definition.
(I know that tap can be written as spigot)

'betting i received' is the wordplay.
'betting' becomes 'sp'.
'received' becomes 'got' ('get' can be a synonym of 'receive').
'sp'+'i'+'got'='SPIGOT'

(Other definitions for spigot that I've seen before include "Peg for a cask's vent" , "It's a water tap in America" , "Plug for a cask's vent hole" , "Peg that stops the vent of a cask" , "Beer tap" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
