ALL MEN MUST DIE: THE MOST MACABRE GAME OF THRONES BETTING MARKETSĪs a show that seemed to build the first season around Sean Bean’s character, Ned Stark – and then killed him before the final episode – Game of Thrones has built a reputation as a show that’s not afraid to shock viewers with a sudden, grisly end to a popular character (we’re still not over the demise of Oberyn Martell, if we’re honest). It’s also worth noting that these core three characters are widely expected to survive through to the end of the story, making them unwise choices in the “Game of Thrones: Who Dies?” odds that are a very popular secondary market. In many cases, it seems like a straight choice between Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen however, Jon’s cousin, Bran Stark, is actually favourite with some bookmakers. The main market for any sports bet is always to do with winning, which raises the question: What is meant by the Game of Thrones “odds to win”? The answer is in the “Who will rule Westeros” odds that most bookmakers are carrying. WHO WILL RULE WESTEROS? YOUR PREDICTION MAY HAVE ODDS!
