bettor

bettor

one who makes a wager: The bettor goes to Las Vegas as often as he can. Some words with the prefix bi- have no standard usage and need to be qualified whenever they are used. For instance, if you called for a biweekly meeting, you’d have to explain whether you meant two times a week or every other week.

Not to be confused with:

better – more useful, desirable or suitable: This is a much better choice.
