Game of Thrones - Who will rule? Odds and betting discussion [Odds updated!]

[Junko]

I'm backing Hodor for the throne, even if he has to do it as a white walker.

My serious guess though would be The Imp. I read somewhere that George R.R. Martin stated that Tyrion was his favorite character of all the characters.

‘GAME OF THRONES’ SEASON 7 SPOILERS: A FAN FAVORITE IS SET TO RETURN, BUT WHO IS IT?

Read in full http://www.inquisitr.com/4155641/game-of-thrones-season-7-spoilers-a-fan-favorite-is-set-to-return-but-who-is-it/

I am sharing this to whoever thinks it will be an advantage to their betting. The article contains small spoilers and it is nothing that I personally have not read yet. I also have an idea who that fan favorite character is because I have waited for *** last season but disappointingly did not appear.

Will Syrio Forel be back?

I forgot about him. He was one of my favorite characters in season 1.

Did you know that there are theories that Syrio is really the faceless man, Jaqen H'ghar? There were threads about it on Reddit.

This is obviously not the case in this series. While historically true, GoT does not represent historical facts.

The whole series, women play a very powerful role. Just look what position Cersei got herself into. Daenerys. Look where Sansa is heading and even the little kid.

EDIT: I may have misinterpreted what you were trying to say. Lower and higher odds can be confusing (is lower or higher better odds?)

Lower odds pay less.

AFAIK, most main female characters in game of thrones survive longer than their husbands or sons.

If that is true, it could mean female characters have better chances of survival & should have lower odds(less paying) than male gendered characters.

Honestly I was not able to follow this series, but why would they offer that odds. I mean, it would be easy for the writer of this
film to bet on the winner because they created the story, it does not make sense to me.

[SimmonenY]

Fcuk Daenerys, I'm team Cersei Lannister! But I think White Walkers will rule because winter is here

People bet on WWE wrestling even though its scripted with the writers, wrestlers and WWE knowing who will win in advance.

I think the way they counter inside betting is to put low caps(limits) on the maximum amount people can bet.

Like say for WWE the cap might be $200 or a relatively low number.

I'm not sure what the exact cap is, I've never bet on WWE but that's usually how things go.

Never knew that you could bet on a TV show.

Oh well, as the people above me said people bet on WWE... But then betting on a TV show is just a whole other matter.

The odds certainly look good though.

You might be correct. We might have a dark ending for Game of Thrones, guessing how the mind of George R. R. Martin works. If there will be a long winter then we might see everyone from Westeros sail east under the banner of Daenerys.

Yeah, gambling games are getting weirder and weirder each day. People now want to bet on something that is already predetermined which is impossible to be a gambling game. It's like they are betting on what would be the answer to 1+1? That's getting stupid really. If this was true then for suer George RR Martin will be rich-er!

You seem very knowledgeable. If I'm remembering right.

Daenereys lived longer than Khal Drogo and her brother.
Caitlyn Stark outlived her husband.
Cersei outlived King Robert.
Sansa and Arya Stark outlived their father and brother.

Most of the female characters seem to live longer and survive, while male characters have a much higher fatality rate.

If that trend does exist, do you think it will continue till the end of the series?

No actually...

Insider betting is strictly prohibited on most gambling events. So the athletes on WWE and the actors are forbidden to bet, although that may not be the case, after all they can avoid detection easily.

However, it is determined, but just not publicly known.

For example, the ETF decision, it was probably already determined a long time ago, just never publicly announced.

ETF decision is different from this. In the WWE games, they are predetermined and for sure they are not allowed to bet on the gambling event. But that doesn't prevent them from disclosing such facts that can be used by others to bet. This isn't "insider trading" where laws are super strict about it. There are no laws against this for sure.

Well the male characters here who've died are not the same as the prominent malr characters this comih season. Also they all died in the first season which pretty much is more on the darker side where character develpment is still slow. We may very well be seeing jon snow on the iron throne with all the back stories about his lineage.

[bbc.reporter]

@gabmen. I was also thinking that if you consider the unpredictability of Game of Thrones, then there is a good chance that Jon Snow will not rule the seven kingdoms.

Another character in the story who is not shown last season but is still alive is Gendry. Where is he? Ned Stark had him protected because he is King Robert's true heir.

I don't think Jon Snow will rule simply because he doesn't want to rule. Besides, everybody knows that kings are usually replaced quickly by a new one and that you generally live longer if you are in a position that is not the king (like Littlefinger has done so far).

What about...

Robb Stark
Stannis Baratheon
Ramsay Bolton
Mance Rayder
Tywin Lannister
Roose Bolton
Prince Oberyn
Doran Martell(the guy in the wheelchair)
Brynden Tully
Prince Joffrey
Prince Joffrey's brother
Hodor
Jon Snow

(I'm sure I'm missing some names)

There could be a disproportionate number of male characters who are killed off while female characters survive.

Shae, Princess Myrcella and Lyssa Arryn are the only major female characters I can think of offhand who died.

Catelyn Stark may not even be dead(because spoilers).

[spngebob]

I think Daenerys will rule because John Snow doesn't want to rule, he just want to fight white walkers.
She has smartest and most manipulative guys Tyrion and Varys on her side, not to mention couple of dragons and big army.

I am talking more about what George R. R, might do with the story than what the character Jon Snow is inclined to do. The writer has always made the story very unpredictable and to the point of making it shocking. Remember when Robb Stark's own allies killed him, his wife and his unborn child also named Eddard?

I get your point and i agree that with how grrm thinks, it mat not be between the characters that we're all expecting to be in the iron throne that would end up there. Hell it may even be cersei though i don't think fans would like that but i don't grrm cares. This unpredictability makes fame of thrones a lot more exciting to watch especially thia final season. And i think we may be seeing gendry at last after rowing his boat anywhere for a couple of seasons

[SniX030]

John Snow is the song of ice and fire. He will rule.
Or the drawf...
