PINS backwards - SNIP, which is a word for a bargain.

pain-killer = Number (ie makes numb)

Also a bet is "put on"

21) Break in sport - have drunken trip round (6)
Break in - IRRUPT
Sport - RU (rugby union)
drunken 'trip' - IRPT (around RU) = IR(RU)PT

All is correct, 25 is SNIP.
How about 4, 7 and 12?

Thanks jolana ... I'll have another go at the remaining clues, but don't have the answers yet.
Perhaps houston, upstart or salami can help again?
