That would be a rather unusual colloquialism. How would you know if someone made a wager or committed assault?

The past tense of beat is beat. While easy to remember, it does mean that more information may have to be added to define whether it was a past event or a continuing activity.

Is betted a word?

Unfortunately 'Betted' is not a word. As an attempt to conjugate the verb 'to bet', one would not add an 'ed' to the end. To put this verb into the past tense you would simply say 'bet' An example: Incorrect - I betted on the races the other day! Correct- I bet on the races the other day! or I have bet on those races!
