Despite failing to get the job done in Sydney in Game 1, the Blues have opened warm $1.78 favourites in State of Origin Game 2 betting, while there is great value on offer again for the Maroons again at $2.05.

Early Payout is available on State of Origin Game 2 at Neds – simply back either state to win head-to-head and if you selection leads by 6 points or more at half time, you’ll be paid out early.

First Try Scorer betting has already proven to be a popular target for Origin punters and there is excellent value to be found in betting again.

Jack Wighton saluted at odds of $16 in Game 1 and there has been a push for the likes of Brian To’o ($10) for the Blues and Selwyn Cobbo ($11.50) for the Maroons ahead of Game 2.

Cameron Munster was named Man of the Match in Game 1, paying out at odds of $10.

The classy Storm player has received interest on the second line of Man of the Match betting at odds of $7, but he does trail the New South Wales pairing of James Tedesco ($6) and Nathan Cleary ($6) in Game 2 betting.

Betting Update:

All the money coming into this game has been for NSW. The Blues were beaten in game 1 but punters clearly think they’re going to bounce back here.

NSW opened at $1.87 but have been supported since markets opened. They’re now into $1.65 with online bookmaker Neds.

Queensland are the $2.30 outsiders and have drifted from their $1.94 opening price.
