Handy Betting Tips for the State of Origin
Last updated:
The State of Origin is played every year and is the best-of-three rugby league game between the New South Wales Blues and the Queensland Maroons. It is the quintessential game of Australia’s premier sporting events. It attracts huge television audiences and it usually sells out the stadium
The series began in 1980, when players were selected to represent the state in which they played their first senior rugby league game, rather than their current state of residence. This gave Queensland a more competitive edge, as many of their star players had moved to play in the richer NSWRL Premiership.
Since then, the series has been dominated by Queensland, who have won 24 out of 40 series, including a record eight series in a row from 2006 to 2013.
