bet - in the context below:

"I bet it is primer dimers" a guess that is believed to be likely to be true... means you strongly believe or would "stake money" on the fact that it is primer dimers

so bet means a strong guessing, fine, but is it a shortcut for a known word!! like et,e.g....

2 meanings for the same abbreviation...i think it depends on the person who wrote the word

lol can mean 'laugh out loud' or 'lots of love' and comes from too much texting

'bet' is not just a slang. It can be used formally too. But the way they are used in chit-chats like saying 'I can bet on . . .', ' I bet .. .', 'I'll bet . ..' 'you bet', 'I can bet my life on. . . ', 'My best bet . .' etc are informal use.

' Betcha' is a slang form. It will mean somethig like 'I can bet against you'

Bet for 'between' is not much used but people prefer using 'btn' for 'between'
