Unexpectedly find gamble working (6,2)
I believe the answer is:
chance on
'unexpectedly find' is the definition.
'gamble working' is the wordplay.
'gamble' becomes 'chance' (synonyms).
'working' becomes 'on'.
'chance'+'on'='CHANCE ON'
(Other definitions for chance on that I've seen before include "Find (something) by accident" , "Happen to find, come upon" .)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
