It’s bound to be a first for whoever wins the Gold Logie this year. That’s because all the 2018 nominees have never won a Gold Logie before! Upon close observation of the 2018 Gold Logie winner odds, they reveal that hosts are more likely to win than actors.

The Gold Logie is awarded for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television. In this 60th edition, six personalities have been nominated for the award. According to Australian gambling news, TV Week magazine is organizing the Logie Awards ceremony at a new location: The Star Gold Coast, Queensland. You can actually affect the 2018 Gold Logie winner odds. Because the winner is voted by the public via TV Week’s websites, it’s one of the few bets where you have power over the outcome! The first one-month voting period ended in the beginning of April. On June 29, you have one last chance to vote until the 1st of July 2018 which is the start of the Logie Awards ceremony.

Gold Logie Nominees: Hosts

Let’s start with Andrew Winter (11/1) who has the worst 2018 Gold Logie winner odds among the hosts. This is expected since Winter could not take on Amanda Keller as a lifestyle presenter. According to online gambling sites in Australia, Amander Keller has one of the best odds to win at 3/1. Her show, The Living Room, has already won Logie Awards for Most Popular Lifestyle Program from 2015 to 2017! Moving on to Grant Denyer; his winning odds at 5/1 are looking a bit grim when compared to the other hosts. He was nominated for Gold Logie 2017 for hosting the game shows, All Star Family Feud and Family Feud. Nevertheless, he did not win and has nothing new to offer this year. The bookies’ favourite to win Gold Logie 2018 is currently Tracy Grimshaw (11/10), the host of A Current Affair. This show has its reputation as one of the most Logie-awarded programs! That’s why Grimshaw’s winning chance is the highest.

Gold Logie Nominees: Actors

Both Rodger Corser (6/1) and Jessica Marais (7/1) were nominees for the 2017 Gold Logie. Like Denyer, neither took home the award. This year, they are back with the same dramas: Doctor Doctor and Love Child/The Wrong Girl, respectively. According to online sportsbook sites in Australia, the 2018 Gold Logie winner odds do not favour these two actors. Unless the upcoming votes would turn things around, Corser and Marais would not win Gold Logie 2018. It would also be the end of Marais’ hope to upgrade from a Silver Logie 2017 to Gold.

Bet on the Winner of Gold Logie 2018!

Your best bets are with hosts Tracy Grimshaw (11/10) and Amanda Keller (3/1). So far, their 2018 Gold Logie winner odds are at the top. Alternatively, you could go with Rodger Corser (6/1) who is an actor and also among the recurring nominees. So bet on the the Gold Logie as well as other Logie Awards category at Unibet Sportsbook!
