Stan James Punter wins £31k on a 50p bet

One lucky Stan James punter was in clover on Sunday when his 50p each way Lucky 15 returned £31,748.33p including £18,787.76 as a result of the StanJames Best Odds Guaranteed and 10% bonus for four winners.

The customer from Hereford wasn't watching yesterday's racing and was only alerted to the fact that it might be a red-letter day when I rang him to congratulate him on his win.

Amazingly he told me his friends always referred to him down the pub as "If Only" as, before yesterday, he was always referring to the one that got away. They won't be describing him thus now!!

His winning selections were:

Golden Prospect 3.00 Bri, Early Price 16/1, Starting Price 8/1

Gioacchino 4.10 South, Price 16/1, Starting Price 33/1

Sinbad The Sailor 4.30 Bri, Price 10/3, Starting Price 7/2

Byron Bay 4.40 Sou, Price 16/1, Starting Price 7/1
