Stanley/Lawrie backers get bet365 in another fine mess!

Kyle Stanley put last week's disappointment behind him to triumph in Phoenix.Last week a bet365 customer collected £87,745.31 from a £25 ew double and on Sunday another golf punter went one better and pocketed £91,331.25 from the same stake on 50/1 Paul Lawrie and 66/1 Kyle Stanley.
bet365 spokesman Steve Freeth admitted: "We were still licking our wounds from last week's Robert Rock/Brandt Snedeker double and to be honest we thought we'd be okay going into the final round of the Phoenix Open with Spencer Levin well clear and trading at 1/5 - big mistake!
"Paul Lawrie was backed from 75/1 into 40/1 meaning we lost over £100,000 on the Qatar Masters, Stanley (66/1 into 45/1) was a six figure loser for us in singles alone and the number of Stanley/Lawrie double backers ran into double figures.
"Safe to say it's been a bad couple of weeks!"
