Please check whether I am correct or not.
Safe bet means" something that is likely to happen, or someone or something that is likely to be successful"
Can we write the following sentence? is it appropriate?
1) Real estate is a safe bet for a lot of money
(meaning intended is that the real estate is not making much money now but in future there is possibility for making lot of money).
2) I am a safe bet for what reads well in English.
I got this sentence from one of the members in this forum.
Is he trying to say that he will be good in English in future but now he is not that good?
But why did he use the word"what"(instead of who)?
Thank you
