Samuel Johnson may have scuffed at a campaign to get him the Gold Logie but punters believe his AACTA win has only enhanced that possibility.
- Samuel Johnson receives strong punter support to win the Gold Logie following AACTA win.
- The Molly star was $41 before the awards ceremony and is backed now into $11.
- Waleed Aly remains the most supported though and favourite at odds of $2.25.
Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au is reporting a flurry of bets on the Molly star which has forced his price down from $41 into $11.
However Waleed Aly remains the $2.25 favourite to repeat his win this year and has received the most punter support to date.
Karl Stefanovic has also made inroads in the past few weeks, moving up in the betting from $6.00 into $3.00 second favourite.
“Samuel may say he doesn’t want the Gold Logie but that call is falling on deaf ears with our punters as they can’t get enough of the Molly star,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Will Byrne.
