Person having a flutter fully recovered (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

better

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

'recovered' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'person having a flutter fully' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'flutter' could be 'bet' (flutter can mean a small bet) and 'bet' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ter' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for better that I've seen before include "Speculator" , "More able" , "Recovered from illness - more satisfactory" , "he will take risks" , "On the mend" .)
