Bet

Hi

Who do you think will win?

--- Is it possible to use the word "bet" and say the same? For example: Who will you bet your money on? Is it OK?
  

Top answer

Yes, you can say that, but to me Who will you put your money on? feels more idiomatic. You can use these colloquial expressions to literally ask about the staking of money, or you can use them non-literally with a similar meaning to Who do you think will win?
