Spring bet?

What does it mean?
I heard this from a drama.
There are these two blokes
and one has just clubbed a zombie, blood spattered.
The other gives him a smile, saying
"Get in there. Get on one of them. Sping bet."
And they exchange a high-five.
The next scene the first guy has on another zip-up,
so I guess "get in there" and "get on one of them" means
"go there" and "pick up one",
but I don't know what it is, "Spring bet."

'Spring bet' does not seem to make any sense. I think you misheard what he said. Clive

It's poor sound. I can't hear it. Sorry.

Umm, this is from a British drama so I was guessing that people from the U.K. would understand the accent.
So If anyone from the country is here and reading this, I'd like you to give it a try.

I don't hear 'spring bet'.

It sounds to me very much like: 'Spring broke' - but sorry, I can't be 100% sure.

I'm British, too, with the benefit of high quality recording and listening equipment and that was my best guess.

I didn't know that all the repliers were from the U.K.
I apologise to you all. Sorry!
I'm always thankful for your great help.
The actor's pronunciation isn't even clear to the native speaker's ear.
I'm just going to give up on it.
In passing, the drama is 'Misfits.'
