Bound to make a sound bet (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gambol

'bound' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a sound bet' is the wordplay.
'a sound' shows a homophone (sound like).
'bet' becomes 'gamble' (I've seen this before).
'gamble' is a homophone of 'GAMBOL'.

'to make' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for gambol that I've seen before include "Frisk about and bet, by the sound of it" , "Dance" , "Spring" , "Skip" , "jump for joy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
