Crossword Genius

The gambler is cured? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

better

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'the gambler' is the first definition.
(someone who makes bets is a gambler)

'is cured?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for better that I've seen before include "Comparatively good" , "Gambler; cured" , "recovering from illness" , "More competent - gambler" , "Gambler; more effective" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
