Gets level; nonetheless loses nothing (5)
I believe the answer is:
evens
'gets level' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'nonetheless loses nothing' is the wordplay.
'nonetheless' becomes 'even so' (synonyms).
'loses' suggests deleting specific letters.
'nothing' becomes 'O' (looks like zero - 0).
'evenso' with 'o' removed is 'EVENS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for evens that I've seen before include "Levels - odds" , "Smooths the odds" , "Odds offering equal chance of win or lose" , "Level betting" , "50-50 odds" .)
