How the clue works
Right, so thought — as in used your noggin, past tense — that's the definition, pointing us to CEREBRATED. For the wordplay, take "bet card" and get it dealt, meaning anagram those letters into BRATED... sorry, into C and BRATED, then slot ERE (meaning before) in between the two halves to build the whole thing up.
