State of Origin : PNG Man bets Car on NSW Blues

A Papua New Guinea man is placing a bet on New South Wales Blues to win the State of Origin Game 1 . An unidentified man put a billboard telling Queensland Maroons fans to come and bet against his team and win the car. 

The notice reads : " Mi beitim Car blo BLues, Maroons Kam". I am betting my car on the Blues so Maroons fans can come and bet against him. 

Papua New Guinea is known for the love of rugby league. Though the game  is played overseas, people take the game seriously. The country comes to stand still during the State of Origin  matches.  This year's State of Origin matches are no difference. Thousands are expected to flock to their TV screens to watch the State of Origin opener. 

To put ice on the cake, Papua New Guinea International, Xaviours Coates will be featured in the Maroons  team taking the number 2 spot on the wing.  The game states at 7:10 pm tonight
