Hamper opinion surrounding request (6)
I believe the answer is:
basket
'hamper' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'opinion surrounding request' is the wordplay.
'opinion' becomes 'bet' (bet can mean a prediction or opinion on the future).
'surrounding' indicates putting letters inside.
'request' becomes 'ask' (synonyms).
'bet' placed around 'ask' is 'BASKET'.
(Other definitions for basket that I've seen before include "Hamper" , "it contains" , "See 10" , "Container made of interwoven wire or canes" , "Shopping holder" .)
