Gamble involving a man - a titled man (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

baronet

'a titled man' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'gamble involving a man' is the wordplay.
'gamble' becomes 'bet' (bet is a kind of gamble).
'involving' is an insertion indicator.
'a man' becomes 'aron' ().
'bet' going around 'aron' is 'BARONET'.

(Other definitions for baronet that I've seen before include "Nobleman" , "Minor title" , "Lowest British hereditary title" , "Member of the British order of honour" , "Lower noble" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
