Match Results & Scores

For simple and straightforward State of Origin betting, you can have a punt on which team you think will win each match. Place a stake on Queensland if you think they’ll win, and follow the game live to see if you’re right.

 

Outrights

The most popular State of Origin bet is an outright wager on the competition winner. Picking the outright winner of the State of Origin tournament is different from regular match result betting, as the competition is a best-of-three format. In other words, you’re betting on the team that wins the most matches from the three played in total.

Unibet odds will favour the New South Wales Blues if we think they have the stronger team. This means an NSW win is more likely, but you’ll receive less in winnings if that happens. If the teams are equal, it’s often a good opportunity to bet on the bookies’ underdog.

 

Line Bets

Line betting balances the odds between the favourite and the underdog. It also helps you maximise your potential winnings if you bet on the clear favourite. Line bets are common in high-scoring sports like footy and rugby league. Here’s how a line bet works:

Let’s say Queensland are the favourites to win the game against New South Wales. Queensland are in good form but are only slightly tipped to win the match because of equally good form by NSW. The line is then set at -2.5 for a Queensland win and +2.5 for a New South Wales win, meaning that Queensland need to win by at least three points to “make up the line” and earn you the cash.

Alternatively, betting on New South Wales to win means they can lose by two points and your bet will still be counted as a win. Line betting gives you better odds in both cases.

 

3-Way Lines

Three-way line bets give you options for wins, losses, and draws. Here, you can bet on the final result with a hypothetical starting score added to the end score. For example, you could bet on a New South Wales to win where the match starts 2-0 to Queensland. This means that New South Wales would have to win by three points for the bet to succeed.

 

Live Betting on State of Origin Matches

Match odds can change during the State of Origin tournament. For example, the Queensland Maroons might be the clear favourite for all three matches, but their odds for the last game could drop after two shaky performances in the first pair of matches.

Time your bets when the odds are at their highest. You can do this by researching the players and teams before the tournament begins. For example, if you’re among the first to find out about an injury to a key Queensland player, you might want to place a quick punt on a New South Wales win, thus maximising your chances of winning.
