I am a big fan of the Game of Thrones and I hope some of you here are also fans. I have discovered that some sportsbetting sites are now also offering odds on who will rule at the end of the whole series. We have 2 more seasons to go before we find out who.

Who is your bet and let us discuss it. I will post my own bet and theory later after I read some of your opinions.

Obviously, Lord Varys will rule by proxy.

[rytyr]

I will say Jon Snow since the series is full of surprises and what better to have a guy who was dead to come back to life to rule the domain.
And he is a bastard as Tyrion Lannister would put it. 
So what better of a surprise ending would that be!

[tribanogrami]

I think House Targaryen deserve throne. Dany will be queen Jon will be king but it is happy end. R.R.Martin dont like happy end. Still miss Ed Stark Petyr Baelish is dangerous man for throne. He is so sneaky. Martin like this character but doesnt fit for throne.

If i bet i will bet for Daenerys Targaryen and her dragons


By the way listen to GOT intro music with Turkish style >>>  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yInwFu9NfE

This is interesting, I'm fans of GOT too. I see the odds that's so interesting and funny in the same time

So much fans think Daenerys will be the queen and Snow will be the king, if this happens how is the result?
Like you said, RRM have an unique mind, could be Gilly will rule Westoros

I will bet for Jon Snow, he already rise from the dead, typical of the hero.

[Karpeles]

what about the no one option?

the white walkers may kick everyone's ass and there would be no one alive to be king, or another power may emerge

also kinda dangerous for the sportbooks offer such line, people with inside info can easily grab some bucks if they already know the end

and if the power is shared

i believe most people who watch this series expect jon snow to rule westeros .

but it seems in the last episode daenerys targaryen the one who will make it happen , the odds shows it all , i don't know this series really full of surprises just make everybody getting excited to watch. usually betmoose.com held this kind bet but so far i can not see it there.

[Wendigo]

Daenerys Targaryen will rule  the whole land. Daenerys Targaryen will manage to stomp the White Walkers plague and unite the different houses. Fire Vs Ice - I think fire will win here namely the Dragons 

[Aqualung89]

I can think of it as Jon Snow, which is actually the first one in my neighborhood.
You know that he is seen as Azor ahai anyway, but other than that, I might not be the one to sit on westeros I think.
Eventually I think that the white walkers will have won in the end, according to this book the series is not progressing exactly.

[marlboroza]

what about the no one option?

~snip~

no-one option is:

The Night King           7.00

Here is my theory - humans will fight against each other, they will be weak, winter will come and Night King will defeat them all. He is un-dead king with special abilities ffs! Who can compete with that?  
And it is the end I would like to see

Yes, Jon Snow is also my bet. In the last season the flash backs has shown us that he is not really a bastard of Eddard but is the child of Raegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark. In case you do not know Raegar is the rightful heir to the throne since he is the eldest son of Aerys the Second also known as the mad king. That makes Jon Snow a direct heir to the throne.

I speculate there will be a great battle between Daenerys and Jon and when one of her dragons try to burn Jon they will find out that he too cannot be burned. That is when they all bow to him, including Daenerys.

Well with the way things are going, one could easily be betting between jon snow and daenerys. Though i'd like to think that tyrion would also be in the mix but that is very unlikely. Game of thrones also can give us a lot of unexpected twists though and we may even see gendry return and take the iron throne

[NorrisK]

As much as I don't like it, I think Petyr Baelish has a real shot at ruling at the end of Game of Thrones.

He must be one of the smartest and tactical mastermind in the whole kingdom.

Tyrion has always been good only as an adviser. So it is not going to be him.

What happened to Gendry? Was it not that he was assumed dead? I do not remember what happened to him. I think I need to start watching the past seasons again.

@NorrisK. Jaime Lannister has a better chance to be the king than Petyr. Jaime was already showing signs that he can change sides and fight for the common good. He and Cersei might be on opposite sides by the end of season 7.

Also finally the latest Game of Thrones teaser is out. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/new-game-of-thrones-teaser_us_58dd4586e4b0e6ac70933003

Woulddn't it just be so funny if a dwarf was king and the queen of dragons had to marry him.
Now that would just put the cherry on the sundae on that one.

[Herbert2020]

hold on a minute there!
have we forgotten that Game of Thrones is based on the book series called "A Song of Ice and Fire" which means the end is already known so what the hell are we even betting on! the story is out there for everyone to find and see what happens or even some may have read the books already and know it!

p.s. i haven't read any comments here and i am not going to put some spoiler alerts around here for gods sake

[Juggy777]

Winters is coming and I feel that all will rule independently. Danerous shall be on the iron crown, Jon shall be at winter fell, sensa shall fall in love with iron born any guess who that will be. Tyrion shall be the new hand of the king. Arya shall return to the God of many faces. Rest characters shall be dead. Thats my predictions.

Isn't the TV series ahead of the books at this point in time? I think the writer shared the general story line, but the TV makers still have some artistical freedom te change certain things.

@Jaime lanister as king, I don't see that happening. He never showed any ambition for that position. Same with Tyrion, he knows that kings/queens will simply die in some plot or coup against them.

The trailer indeed shows three likely candidates to make a claim, but GoT is never what it appears to be.

[Barbut]

I can`t imagine who will rule in the end. Looks like Jon Snow and Daenerys have the most chances, with reason, Jon Snow raised from the dead and he done some crazy things in last serial, and dragon mother wish to have a throne she is coming back for that. Just one thing this serial is full of surprises, more turns then any other that I watched, so maybe we need to expect some surprise to happen.
I`m confused with end of this list :
Ellaria Sand           26.00
Samwell Tarly           26.00
Varys                   26.00
Yara Greyjoy           36.00
Davos Seaworth           41.00
Jaqen H'ghar           51.00
Euron Greyjoy           51.00
Brienne Tarth           67.00
Theon Greyjoy           67.00
Melisandre                   67.00
Daario Naharis           101.00
Gilly                           101.00

Gilly, Brienne, Davos, Samwell Tarly, two Grejoy`s, Daario and Melisandre? Why they are even on the list?
I think if someone wish to win this its better to place bets on several people on this list, like I said this end of the list is confusing me, can someone of this outsiders rule in the end?

Really? We are gambling on game on thrones now? I love game of thrones but this is nothing that should be gambling about. The clear winner will be George RR Martin and for sure if he knew about this he will wage all his earnings on the correct answer to this. He's rich now but next thing we now he's a billionaire.
