Wager period on network will produce improved results (10)
I believe the answer is:
betterment
'wager period on network will' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'improved results' is the wordplay.
'improved' becomes 'better' (similar in meaning).
'results' becomes 'ment' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'better'+'ment'='BETTERMENT'
'produce' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for betterment that I've seen before include "improved condition" , "Amelioration" , "advance" , "Reform" , "Improvement" .)
