Queensland have been cut to $1.45 by online bookmaker

sportsbet.com.au as punters pile into the Maroons to win another State of Origin Series.

It’s been seven

years since New South Wales had their hands on the shield and punters believe the Blues will have to wait at least another year

as they snapped up the $1.50 odds for Queensland to win its 19th State of Origin title.

The Maroons are

hot favourites to win Game 1 when the three-match series gets underway at Melbourne on Wednesday 23rd May and weight

of money on the opener has forced sportsbet to cut Queensland’s head to head odds for the match from $1.50 to $1.48 this

morning.

Melbourne Storm full back Billy Slater has been the stand out player of 2012 with nine tries in as many

games. The 28-year-old is the highest tryscoring fullback in the history of NRL and will be looking to add to his impressive

record of 11 tries in 17 representative games for the Maroons.
