Revenge is a powerful motivator, and punters with online bookmaker sportsbet are counting on it getting Queensland over the line in State of Origin 3 on Wednesday night.
SPECIAL OFFER: $250 FREE BET on QLD or NSW and if they score first and lose MONEY BACK
The Maroons are a pronounced $1.57 favourite to prevent a whitewash from NSW, who are priced at $2.47.
Nearly a third more money has gone on the Maroons in the head to head market.
QLD also dominate the first tryscorer market (Darius Boyd and Greg Inglis $9.00 favourites), and Man of the Match, with Johnathan Thurston ($6.00) and Cameron Smith ($8.00) the top two picks.
“Home ground advantage as well as the fear of losing 3-nil have been the contributing factors to such a short price for the Maroons, who’d still be stung by their first series loss since 2005,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Christian Jantzen.
Sportsbet has a special offer for Origin 3 – if your team score points first but lose the match, we’ll refund your losing head to head bet.
