A punter put down a whopping $15,750 on the Penrith Panthers as they led the Roosters 28-10 in last weekend’s finals clash at Panthers Stadium.

According to the ‘Masked Panther’ of the Western Weekender – Penrith were paying just $1.01 at the time.

“Penrith’s nailbiting win over the Roosters last Friday night was even more excruciating for one punter,” the Master Panther wrote.

Talk about stress for a few quid.
