State Of Origin Betting: The Latest Odds On The New Blues

Ricky Stuart used 25 players for State of Origin last year and online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au is tipping there will be plenty more new faces in 2012.

Sportsbet.com.au has priced Stuart using 5 or 6 new players from outside that 25 in Game 1 as the $2.00 favourite with 7 or 8 new faces close behind at $3.00 and 3 or 4 new players next at $4.00.

Punters who think Stuart will once again use a wealth of players in 2012 can back either New South Wales using under 24.5 players ($1.80) or over 24.5 players ($1.95).

“Ricky has shown in the past that he’s comfortable changing the team up and with injury concerns around we think there will be plenty of new faces come game one,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

Ryan Hinchcliffe has been priced at $1.33 to not make Game 1 for the Blues and $3.30 to play.

Queensland continue to firm to make it seven series wins in a row, now into $1.60 with New South Wales out to $2.35.
