Winnings to check after return from bet in Sofia? (6)
I believe the answer is:
velvet
'return from bet in sofia?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'winnings to check' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'check' could be 'vet' (I've seen this before) and 'vet' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'after' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for velvet that I've seen before include "Silky densely piled fabric" , "Silky, densely-piled fabric" , "Thick-piled fabric" , "Fabric with thick soft pile" , "Silky fabric with thick pile" .)
