I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'slips' is the definition.
('mistake' can be a synonym of 'slip')

'i'm sent back with money for' is the wordplay.
'sent back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'money for' becomes 'stakes' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'im' written backwards gives 'mi'.
'mi'+'stakes'='MISTAKES'

'betting' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. It may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
