Stan James are a likeable bookmaker who have a no-frills but well-presented website which allows customers to place bets fast at great prices. They have built up a solid reputation within the betting industry over the past few decades and were one of the first firms to offer In-Play betting, although they are somewhat behind many competitors in terms of what they now cover live.

Nevertheless, it’s hard to fault this bookie on its golf product. Stan James has a very accomplished team of golf traders who are always one of the first to price up markets and they will offer a whole host of special markets and terms.

They regularly offer money back specials but unfortunately don't do so for every tournament.

Background

Stan James is a privately run bookmaker that originally began with a small group of betting shops in Berkshire. Founded by bookie Steve Fisher in 1973, Stan James continues to be family run and Steve's son Peter is the MD.   There was never a real bookie called Stan James, Stan is the combination of Steve's name and his wife's name Ann.

Stan James has only a small number of shops in the UK and a larger internet and telephone betting operation in Gibraltar which handles millions of pounds of bets per day. During the past ten years, Stan James have built a reputation for innovative markets, value prices and especially In-Running betting.

Stan James has customers around the world but is particularly active in the UK, the Czech Republic, Canada, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Spain and Sweden.  In the UK StanJames sponsors a number of sporting events.

Odds and Markets

Stan James are consistently competitive with their golf betting odds. They have a solid trading department and they are one of the most responsive teams. They will have markets up almost as soon as a tournament is announced and will regularly offer some good value early prices.

Stan James should also be respected for the range of markets offered, especially as they often highlight how many additional propositions are available next to an event. Their In-Running product is also one of the best in the industry, while their In-Running betting diary is also very useful and easy-to-understand. The only downside is that their offering tends to appeal more to UK punters than those further afield.

Website

There is no question that Stan James are on the money as far as their website is concerned. The homepage is aesthetically pleasing to the eye, with a list of sports in a left-hand menu, with golf very easy to fins.

Thanks to the use of drop-down menus, navigation around the website is excellent, while the bet slip function is neat and easy-to-understand. Top marks all round.
