I haven't cracked this one yet — but the brilliant team at Times for the Times have:

GEL (set) reversed [up], BET (bank) containing [receiving) FORE (warning – golf), + WICKE{d} (bad) [mostly]. One of the means by which a batsman can be ‘out’ or ‘dismissed’ in cricket. I’m not entirely convinced that ‘bet’ and ‘bank’ are synonymous but I suppose if you bet on something happening you are banking on it although that may be foolish.
