Cuts uncertainty in wagers (8)

I believe the answer is:

briskets

'cuts' is the definition.
(brisket is a kind of cut)

'uncertainty in wagers' is the wordplay.
'uncertainty' becomes 'risk' (I've seen this in another clue).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'wagers' becomes 'bets' ('bet' can be a synonym of 'wager').
'risk' going inside 'bets' is 'BRISKETS'.

(Another definition for briskets that I've seen is " Cuts of beef found to risk bets".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
