The first one is ‘stand to win’. We use this idiom when there is a strong possibility that if you do something then you will surely be successful. It sometimes refers to money but not always.
‘Tell your friend to enter the competition. It is easy and if he does he stands to win some fantastic prizes from KGRE.’
Here is another example for you.
‘The famous singer stands to win a lot of new fans if she visits Bali to sing at the special concert for World Peace in June.’
The second idiom today is to ‘win hands down’. We use this idiom to describe how someone or something has won a contest or competition very easily indeed. Let's use it in the past tense today and I hope that the meaning is clear to you in this example.
‘She won the contest hands down. She knew all the answers to the questions and the other contestants were just not good enough.’
‘stands to win’ — ‘punya kesempatan untuk menang’
‘won hands down’ — ‘menang mutlak’
