DANGER. SPOILER POTENTIAL. DANGER.

This article contains spoilers. If you keep going further, you might learn things about Game of Thrones that you didn’t know. I might wreck the ending of the show for you. If you want to avoid that happening, hit your back button. Now.

Final warning.

As with most things in the world, some sportsbooks have odds on who will be ruler of the Seven Kingdoms at the end of the show. I covered odds before Game of Thrones’ Season 8 began, and those odds have seen some significant motion after two episodes.

Here’s what we’ve seen so far during the first two episodes that we had to wait entirely wayyyy too long for.

We catch up with everyone after it feels like five years since we last saw them together. Crowds line up as Jon Snow, Daenarys Targaryen and an army of dragons, Unsullied, Dothraki and more cruise into Winterfell to make their stand against the White Walkers.

Sansa Stark is a bit miffed at the whole thing and a queen she doesn’t want to answer to.

Euron Greyjoy continues to be his not-so-charming, overly arrogant self toward Cersei Lannister, who he intends to one-day wed and make babies with. The two end up hooking up and making the most Westeros pillow-talk imaginable afterwards.

Jon rides on a dragon, not knowing exactly how to in the process. Somehow he doesn’t die; because that would have been a perfect Game of Thrones type fatality. Go out for a cool ride on a dragon and never come back home…

… speaking of Jon, his good buddy Samwell arrives at Winterfell. He and Jon visit, Samwell drops the whole you’re not a bastard, you’re a Targaryen and the rightful heir to the throne on Jon. Those internet theories were right all along. Shocker.

And the Knight King and his army are south of the wall now. Headed toward Winterfell. Never saw that coming, did you?

Mostly another set-up episode, as the White Walkers make their way toward Winterfell, where the Starks, Targaryens, A Hound, a pair of dragons, a pair of Lannister brothers and many more have decided to draw their line in the frozen tundra and battle the walking dead. Lots of side banter, hanging around fires, chatting and trying to tie up some loose ends from the previous seven GoT seasons. But it was all done well, with solid one-liners and campfire drinking.

Bran Stark, aka the Three-eyed Raven, tells everyone that The Knight King has him marked and is coming for him, because his death would basically wipe out the history of man. Again, lots of theories out there that Bran and The Knight King are, actually, one in the same…

Jamie Lannister arrived, let everyone know that Cersei – surprise, surprise – lied to them, but he wanted to fight for mankind. He then asked Brienne of Tarth if he could fight under her leadership, before later making her a Knight. I wonder what the odds were of ever getting Brienne to smile before that happened?

And there was that whole thing where Jon Snow tells Daenerys Targaryen that he’s actually a Targaryen (her nephew, too) because his brother, who would really be his cousin, has visions and his best friend read about it in some old book but didn’t really know what he was reading about at the time. Oh, how love is complicated at times.

Lets get into the odd changes. There’s a number of noteworthy ones, and here’s the full listing plus the comparison to the last Game of Thrones betting odds.

Game of Throne Character(s)	Odds (4/23/2019)	Odds (4/9/19)
Sansa Stark	7/4	4/1
Bran Stark	5/2	4/5
Gendry	4/1	7/1

Petyr “Little Finger” Baelish	12/1	8/1
Samwell Tarly	14/1	25/1
Cersei Lannister	40/1	16/1
Jaime Lannister	40/1	40/1
Varys	40/1	40/1
The Children of the Forest	80/1	33/1
Euron Greyjoy	100/1	66/1
Ser Davos Seaworth	100/1	100/1
Gilly	100/1	100/1
Melisandre	100/1	100/1
Hodor	100/1	100/1

Brienne of Tarth	100/1	100/1

Apparently Sansa’s showing in the first two eps has increased the view that she’s going to be ruling when all is said and done. She’s definitely grown as a character from the early seasons and has shown her chops with getting people to rally behind and support her. However, her odds (7/4) and those of her brother Bran (5/2) aren’t worth the investment in my opinion… and if everyone thinks one of those two are going to end up leading the Seven Kingdoms, you know darn well the show will be ready with an alternative ending to get you in the end … although there’s still thought that if Bran and The Night King are one in the same, sportsbooks may pay-out on both regardless of actually winner and I still like the 10/1 investment on old frosty.

Gendry saw his odds change, going from 7/1 to 4/1, after he revealed he’s the bastard son of former King Robert. He and Arya, whose odds also increased five spots, hooked up. Is that our new ruling pair?

Daenerys’ stock increased in potential return, going from 10/1 to 12/1; I’m giving the same look she gave Jon when she said he’d be the last male Targaryen if the stories he told her were true. She’s mowed over, set fire and destroyed everyone else in her way to the Iron Throne. Could her new love interest, and, ummm, nephew, be next on the list? Doubtful, but this is Game of Thrones and she really wants to be the ruler…

Samwell Tarly’s odds changed pretty drastically, decreasing from a healthy 25/1 to 14/1. I still think there’s a sprinkle of ROI on throwing some money on him.

In previous filings, I noted that one can never rule out Cersei Lannister. She didn’t go north, has a whole lot of paid-for soldiers now under her command, most of the Iron Fleet and is always one step ahead most others when it comes to back-stabbing her way to power. If you weren’t interested in throwing some money at her previous 16/1 odds, it is hard to ignore a 40/1 payout.

Fans are trying every method to guess who will die in Game of Thrones Season 8, including Las Vegas-style betting odds.

Warning! Spoilers for Game of Thrones lie ahead!

Game of Thrones is heading into week two of its final season, and there is almost certainly tragedy on the way to Westeros. The show has a long history of shocking character deaths, often including the central heroes that seem to drive the show. With that in mind, fans don't see it as a question of 'if' characters will die, but 'which' characters will die.

Two separate betting websites have give odds on which characters are most likely to die. These range from minor and secondary figures to the undisputed stars of the show, taking into account various factors. The deaths could be a matter of shocking twists or practical plot points. There is also foreshadowing and symbolism to take into account, as the series has spent years weaving intricate plot threads.

As fans know, Game of Thrones made its mark by killing its apparent protagonist, Ned Stark, at the end of its first season. The next year, it ended by killing his son, wife, and a whole cast of other stars in the infamous Red Wedding. Now, hardened fans are on the lookout for that kind of shocking twist in the show's final season.

Of course, writers don't make these kinds of decisions lightly. However, they are certainly banking on fan fear. A teaser for the season titled 'Aftermath' showed Winterfell abandoned, with all of the heroes apparently dead.

Game of Thronesairs on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO. In the meantime, here are the odds against your favorite characters left in Westeros.

Bran Stark

The folks at Betonline.ag have reasoned that Bran Stark has a pretty good chance to survive, giving him odds of +6600. Now virtually omniscient, they figure that Bran's Three-Eyed Raven powers will allow him to predict his death and avoid it.

However, they may be overlooking the fact that, so far, Bran has only ever looked into the past. While he may have more information to go on than others, there is no reason to believe he will foresee his own death.

prevnext

Jon Snow

Jon Snow, too, has odds of +6600 from Betonline, and an even better +8000 from Bovada.lv. Many fans suspect that Jon is safe, having already died as a martyr once before and then risen from the grave. However, it is worth noting that many mythical story structures would show a martyr hero archetype like Jon giving up his life again and ascending to legendary status.

Jon's death would also absolve him of the question of whether or not to pursue his new-found claim to the Iron Throne. So far, Jon has maintained unquestionable honor by fighting against an enemy that is literally death incarnate. To go to war for a seat of power in the south seems a bit beyond him.

prevnext

Daenerys Targaryen

Daenerys Targaryen is in a bit more danger than her nephew, according to the gambling sites. They have her at +5000 and +2500, perhaps feeling that it is her turn to be a heroic sacrifice, clearing the path for Jon to take his place on the throne.

Of course, Daenerys remains the greatest power in the north, except perhaps for the night king. She commands the two unstoppable forces of the Dothraki and the Unsullied, not to mention two full-grown dragons. If Daenerys falls, it will likely not be at the hands of mortal men.

prevnext

Tyrion Lannister

Betonline has given Tyrion odds of +4000, while Bovada has him at +5000. The so-called half-man has been through a lot, and has emerged with just a jagged scar across his face and a cutting sense of sarcasm.

Now, however, Tyrion has put himself in danger with a few consecutive mistakes in his strategizing for Daenerys. Some fans speculate that he will actually suffer at her hands when she learns what kind of deal he made behind her back with Cersei.

prevnext

Arya Stark

Arya Stark has proven herself a survivor in Game of Thrones, though that does not make her invincible. Betonline gives her odds of +2800, while Bovada has her at +5000. Arya's training with the Faceless Men should keep her reasonably safe from any human threat, though the White Walkers are an entirely different beast.

Meanwhile, many fans speculate that she will face The Mountain in the terrifying scene teased in the trailer.

prevnext

Sansa Stark

The two betting sites differ on the Lady of Winterfell, Sansa Stark. Betonline has her at +3300, while Bovada has her at just +350. On the one hand, Sansa will not face combat, which is generally a good predictor of safety on the series. On the other, she is one of the show's last great politicians in the tradition of Littlefinger, Varys and other schemers, so she is in an entirely different kind of danger.

prevnext

Cersei Lannister

Queen Cersei gave up everything, including her brother Jaime to stay in King's Landing where she hopes she will be safe. Of course, this is unlikely to keep her safe as the last combatant standing against Daenerys. Cersei has odds of +2000 from Betonline and +1200 from Bovada, and to many fans, it is only a matter of time before she falls.

prevnext

Jaime Lannister

Meanwhile, Betonline has optimistic odds of +5000 for Jaime Lannister, while Bovada has a more conservative +1000. If the teaser for Season 8, Episode 2 is any indicator, Jaime is in serious danger, as it shows him standing an informal trial in Winterfell. To many fans, Jaime's long redemption arc cannot be complete without martyrdom in the War for the Dawn.

Game Of Thrones Episode 3 Odds Against

The Greyjoys

Finally, the three lowest spots on the lists of these two betting sites are reserved for Theon, Euron and Yara Greyjoy, in that order. Theon has odds of +400 from Betonline and +750 from Bovada, which many fans see as generous after everything he's been through. Theon was physically destroyed by Ramsay Bolton, and even now he is not exactly a formidable combatant.

Meanwhile, Euron has odds of +600 from Betonline and +210 from Bovada. The usurper of the Salt Throne has thrown in his lot with Cersei, and believes himself invincible to the White Walkers, as he could always sail away. Still, it seems certain that Euron's reckless ways will get him killed, and many fans predict that Cersei herself is his greatest threat.

Finally, the gambling world does not favor Yara Greyjoy. She was rescued from captivity by Theon in the season premiere, and then promptly sailed home to hold the Iron Islands. Her role in the War for the Dawn is uncertain, but she seems like precisely the kind of noble, beloved character that the writers would snatch away from fans.
