It’s State of Origin time and that means the bookie blokes are out in force with their bet promotions so we’ve compiled the best of them below so you don’t have to go trawling through the lot!
BET BLAST
Ladbrokes are offering inflated odds of $2.25 on Queensland winning the match and if you want to back the Maroons then this is good value with the biggest odds currently in the market set at $2.03. The max bet is $25. Click here and go to ‘PROMOTIONS’ to bet.
ODDS BOOST EXTRA
A regular offer from Ladbrokes where they increase the odds on your first tryscorer bet (1st bet only, $100 max). Our advice is only to take this promo if the boosted odds are the best in the market e.g. they are boosting Corey Oates’ odds from $10 to $10.5 but Bet365 are offering $11 so you’d be best to bet with Bet365 in this case. Click here and go to ‘PROMOTIONS’ to bet.
FOOTY FREAKS
Ladbrokes select two players from each team and offer odds on each play scoring a try and their team winning the match.
We rate this as decent value in what could be allow scoring game. Oates scored a try in one of his three Origin appearances in 2016 and scored 18 tries in 22 games for the Broncos last year and has 5 tries in 10 NRL games so far in 2017.
Boyd is a best priced $3.30 to score a try at any time with Sportsbet and if you think he will do just that the value is with Sportsbet rather than in this promo.
Can Hayne re-discover the form that made him man of the series in 2014? Probably not, but he can still have an impact. If you like NSW to win then this offer is fair value.
Now this is an offer that everyone should take advantage of!
At Sportsbet’s current odds $50 on QLD winning would return $147 which equates to odds of $2.94. A $50 bet on NSW returns $137 which is the equivalent of $2.74 odds. The extra 100% winnings is paid as bonus bets that must be used within 14 days.
Another promo that offers excellent value. Darius Boyd would be our pick as he’s scored 12 Origin tries in 15 games since 2012 and at $15 he’s a good bet in this promo market despite playing full back rather than on the wing where he scored most of his tries from.
This is a good offer that would have seen losing bets refunded (in bonus bets) in each of the last three opening games of the series. Click here to bet
How good is this? Get involved but go easy on the pineapple is our advice!
