It’s State of Origin as you’ve never seen it before. Five states. 10 professional punters. $15,000 prize pool. One winning team.

Starting Wednesday 19 August 2020 and running through until Saturday 24 October (Cox Plate day), teams from NSW, QLD, SA, VIC and WA will be allocated 10 units per week to bet with on any race from Wednesday to Saturday.

At least two of the 10 units must be allocated to Lay bets and all bets are recorded at BSP, with the state/team with the highest bank at the end of each week winning $1,000.

Come the end of the 10 weeks, the team with the highest accumulative profit over the competition’s duration is the winner of $3,000, with second place receiving $1,500 and third place winning $500.

Use #BetfairOrigin on Twitter to get behind your state and to keep in the loop with who each team is backing and laying.

Pro punters are betting with our new mobile app. You should too. Taking the best odds just became easier.
