punter

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one getting a' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'kick out of betting' is the wordplay.
'kick' becomes 'punt' (punt is a kind of kick).
'out of' means to remove the last letter (I've seen 'out' mean this).
'betting' becomes 'ter' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'punt' with its last letter taken away is 'pun'.
'pun'+'ter'='PUNTER'

Can you help me to learn more?
