Betting odds for the TV WEEK Logie Awards suggest that we will see a former Gold Logie winner take home the trophy for the third time.
The odds have Hamish Blake as the front runner to take home the achievement, and if it happens the trophy can sit next to his 2012 gold statue for Hamish and Andy’s Gap Year and 2022 one for Lego Masters.
The win would make Blake one of just seven people who’ve won three or more Gold Logies. He’ll join Graham Kennedy and Ray Martin who have five, Bert Newton and Lisa McCune with four and Daryl Somers and Rove McManus who’ve won three each.
Blake’s betting odds on Sportsbet currently sit at $1.42, which hints that he’s most likely to win the award. In second place is Sonia Kruger at $3.50, and Leigh Sales is in third place at $11.00. Julia Morris and Osher Gunsberg are in joint fourth place at $17.00.
Betting odds:
- Hamish Blake $1.42
- Sonia Kruger $3.50
- Leigh Sales $11.00
- Julia Morris $17.00
- Osher Gunsberg $17.00
- Mark Coles Smith $21.00
- Shaun Micallef $21.00
A guide to betting odds
Betting odds are based on dollar value. If someone bets $1, they’d receive back the amount the contestant was listed at. For example, if a punter bets $1 on Blake, they’d receive a $1.42 return if she won. This corresponds with the amount deposited, so $10 would turn into $14.20, $100 would turn into $142, and so on.
Are betting odds always right?
Betting odds certainly don’t guarantee a win, however, they can often be a good indicator of who will win a show.
Recently, betting odds suggested that Brent Draper would win MasterChef Australia, which he did.
Similarly, so, Reggie Bird had the best odds to win Big Brother Back To The Future, and she was, in fact, crowned the winner. Plus, betting odds indicated that Liz Parnov would win Survivor: Heros vs Villains which she did.
