TAB punters don’t expect the trend of high-scoring matches in the NRL to filter into tomorrow night’s State Of Origin opener but they do think New South Wales can win comfortably.
While a total game score of under 42.5 points has been popular, the most dominant bet in the Margin market has been for the Blues to defeat Queensland by 13+ which is returning $3.10.
That result currently holds 47 percent of the Margin market with the next best being 19 percent for NSW to win by 1-12 at $2.80.
Queensland have drifted further with TAB this afternoon, moving from $2.50 to $2.60 with the Blues now $1.50 to take a one nil series lead in Townsville tomorrow night.
