Gambles, accepting request for containers (7)

I believe the answer is:

baskets

'containers' is the definition.
(basket is a kind of container)

'gambles accepting request' is the wordplay.
'gambles' becomes 'bets' (bet is a kind of gamble).
'accepting' is an insertion indicator.
'request' becomes 'ask' ('ask' can be a synonym of 'request').
'bets' enclosing 'ask' is 'BASKETS'.

'for' is the link.

(Another definition for baskets that I've seen is " Woven containers".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
