they betted
Just in case you're not a native English speaker: The verb "to bet" is irregular and the past tense is simply "they bet" rather than "betted" (which would be far more logical).
- Croftengea 6y agoThanks for pointing out! You're right, I'm not a native speaker. Some dictionaries list it as an alternative form though: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/bet https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/bet
- cperciva 6y agoRight, the dictionary is not your friend here. It is true that "betted" is occasionally used... but we're talking maybe 1% of usage, and mostly in older text. I recommend sticking with "bet".
