The first State of Origin is on tonight and, of course, that means there is a poultice of betting options available for those interested in placing a wager.

For me I think:

1. Queensland will win; and
2. State of Origin games are rarely blow outs.

So my tip for tonight’s game is:

Queensland to defeat New South Wales by 1-12 points.

As always:

1. Please gamble responsibly; and
2. All care is taken with tips given on this site however no responsibility is taken for losses incurred.

Go the mighty Maroons!
