As a result, 'The Sports Bookmaker' has become one of the major online players in fixed-odds sports betting.

As you might expect of a bookie with the tagline of 'The Sports Bookmaker', Stan James offers a huge range of sports, with plenty of market coverage. Their sponsorship of many boxing broadcasts has meant there are plenty of betting opportunities for boxing punters who fancy a bet while watching the fight on TV, and fans can even purchase tickets for featured fights via the Stan James website.

The site is easy to navigate, and features a smart tabbed betslip, which is nicely tucked away on the left side of the site when not in use, with the site designed to ensure the clickable tab to open the slip is always in the user's view.

As with many online bookmakers, Stan James offers an in-running betting service. Indeed, Stan James has a comprehensive programme of in-running betting events, and details them in a very handy guide, so fans of betting on TV sports will have plenty to punt on every day.

All in all, a superb, well-rounded site - and one well worth including in your betting portfolio.

PROS: Superb for in-running betting. Easy-to-navigate site design. Unobtrusive betslip design.

CONS: Lack of offers on the site, either for new or existing customers.
