The Soapbox

    The Bluesers are primed to take the 2025 Origin series in what would be back to back series wins…cute. The odds are definitely stacked in their favour after they took the first game in Brissy but then choked like $2 streetwalkers over in Perth. With the final game being played in Sydney, the lads in duck egg blue are red hot faves and rightly so…but remember, they were red hot faves for Perth as well. In fact, they were short priced favourites to make it a clean sweep!!!

    A quick check of Sportsbet has the home side sitting at $1.40 favourites with the Maroons rank outsiders at $2.97. Hell, I am a betting man so give me a piece of that action!!! But I admit, I may be a bit biased so I will look at my tried and tested formula and see if I can give you the good oil on who to bet on for the decider.

    Pretty simple formula…I pick the best player in that position and by using a very complicated and scientifically proven (*may not be scientifically proven) method (I multiply the selections by 2), I come up with a predicted winner and score!!! Yes, I AM a genius!!!
