A punter with online bookmaker sportsbet stands to collect a cool $500,000 should New South Wales snap their seven year State of Origin series drought tonight.
Placing $966 on a nine leg wager back in March, the bet includes an NBA match, three EPL matches and a Six Nations match, as well as picking the Mariners to win to the A-League, the Chicago Blackhawks winning the Stanley Cup and India beating Australia 4-0 in their recent test match series.
Should the Blues lose, the punter still has game three, being played in Sydney at ANZ Stadium, up their sleeve to snare the huge win.
“The punter does have game three up their sleeve, but there’s no doubting they will want all Queenslanders to have the Blues after tonight’s clash!” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.
In game two Origin betting, sportsbet.com.au has seen a flood of support for Queensland in the last 24 hours, with 74 percent of all money now on the Maroons. They remain the $1.52 favourites, with New South Wales at $2.60.
