72% of money wagered by punters with online bookmaker sportsbet in head-to-head betting for tomorrow’s State of Origin has been on New South Wales.

When Sam Thaiday was ruled out last week, 65% of the money was for the Blues and it has continued to come for Ricky Stuart’s men – both sides are at $1.91 to win Game 2 at ANZ Stadium.

“The betting has almost been a complete 360 from Game 1,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said. “Bets have been 2 to 1 in favour of the Blues for some time now.”

Both New South Wales and Queensland are paying $2.85 to win 1-12 and $5.25 to win 13+.

In series winner betting, the Blues have firmed from $4.60 into $4.00 with Queensland easing from $1.20 to $1.24 as the interest in the Blues continues.
