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

[buwaytress]

Bitcoinrush has begun promoting their Game Of Thrones betting odds!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=228243.msg50571708#msg50571708

The sportsbook also has a lower minstake than Cloudbet. Bet there now before they pull it down! The show is beginning on Sunday hehehe.

Yeah, the odds on BCR are generally one of the best for normal sports but they have quite a good and active system to monitor and switch up. The only thing I would say as a Rush user is that you generally are better off elsewhere on the huge favourites. But if you are like me and enjoy going for the longshort underdogs, then Rush lines on these specials generally give you really good value.

P.S. Stretch the page to zoom out about 70% to get a clear view of the odds. Mine on Chrome goes a bit wonky for their page.

I will bet for Daenerys and Jon Snow. There are lots of theories and speculations but we'll know the answer as soon as we watch the new season. I'm sure that there are rulers who will fall on the last season but I would stick on Daenerys since has been through a lot and she deserves the throne.

[xWolfx]

I would personally like Jon Snow or Gendry to win that one. I think that the midget or Daenerys could win too maybe but i like those other two more.

This is only for fun anyways but i would be really happy if any of those two wins because i believe that the story would  be a lot more interesting. And if that is the case i would finish watching the episodes of that show later.

I just got to watch Nikolaj Coster-Waldau's interview with Jimmy Kimmel and there was a part at the very end of the video where Nikolaj said that all of the fan theories circulating in the web on how Game of Thrones will end are all entirely wrong saying that the ending was "sadisfying". Same goes to other actors of the show in tv appearances saying that all predictions on how game of thrones will end are wrong or at least no one have entirely guessed it correctly. So if you are basing your bets based on the books or based in other fan theories maybe you should have 2nd thoughts about it by now.

[sammyp]

Well, it is quite unpredictable but I am convinced by the happenings in the movie that John Snow will sit on the throne. So far all events appear to favor him better than any other character.

Season 8 will begin in approximately 45 minutes. For those who forgot, this is a recap of the storyboards of some of the main characters to remind you.

An episode full of reunions it seems. A filler episode but great nonetheless. We've waited for this for 2 freakin years and the pilot was a good springboard to launch the next episode and probably the entire season. Not going to spoil it for anyone who hasn't watched yet even though it's all over social media now lol.

[Cloudbet]

Took a gamble coming to the thread since I haven't seen the episode yet, heading back to watch it as soon as work is finished!

I read an interesting theory today that might actually play into this 'sad-isfying' hint.

It would be kinda bitter-sweet if Dany/Jon found a new kingdom in Essos while the Night King claims the Iron throne  

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

[bbc.reporter]

@Malsetid. Agreed! I predict that this might be a big disappointment by the time the whole series ends, I reckon. The runtime was also a little short and it made the episode appear it was made in a hurry.

No spoilers, but what can you say about the last scene? I rolled on my couch hehehe.

[TheCoinGrabber]

I haven't watched s8e1 yet to think whether to change who I believe would win but dang, Jon X Dany make me cringe. The relationship just feels too... forced.

I still believe Cersei would go Mad Queen should the problem with the White Walkers be resolved. She just dgaf anymore.

[vennali]

Have the bets been locked ? I can't seem to bet anymore. Shows a lock beside each of the selection.
I feel the only characters who have a solid chance now are Jon Snow, Bryan or Sansa. Cersei is my 4th Choice.

[bigSentence77]

I am also a big fun of those serial. But i will patiently wait for all series of 8 season. In june will start to watch "Game of Thrones" from the beginnind to end.

Patiently wait for what ? The outcome of the bets will be decided by the end of this season as its the last one. They will not let you bet after the season, duh.

I think that bets in all the websites that gave the chance to the gamblers to bet for the person who wants to get the crown, has all closed the option of betting, after the first episode was released.
It is very normal because during the first episode something may happen and the bets would turn around. The house always needs to protect itself.

[kaya11]

I will choose Gendry as the ruler for the end of season 8, It's because I believe that if they would win the war against the army of the dead and if Jon and Dany would still be alive, they would elope and leave the rest to the Bastards son of Robert Baratheon. Well their sigil was the one who is holding the 7 kingdoms when it started airing and I think it will end on their behalf too. Just my imagination though.

Hmm. I am sure they will reopen the lines with changed odds soon(happens with every event like politics, doesn't it ? ) . The first episode didn't really have any revelation as to who may be at the throne and I am sure bookies won't leave money on the table.

[klaaas]

I enjoyed the first episode of GOT. It probably will be mr jon snow but for gamble i would like to see Sansa Stark ending on the throne.

I just posted an update in our Cloudbet thread but I thought I'd share here too:

Our Game of Thrones markets went down on Sunday before the start of series 8, but now they are back in black like Jon after a night with Melisandre!  

Not only have our minimum stakes dropped on our existing markets, but we are also offering new lines on specific outcomes from series 8! Here's a few to whet your appetite:

- Will Jon Snow marry Daenerys Targaryen in season 8: Yes (2.36) No (1.54)
- Will Bronn Kill Tyrion Lannister in season 8: Yes (4.33) No (1.19)
- Will Sandor Kill Gregor Clegane in season 8: Yes (1.45) No (2.62)
- Will Arya Stark marry Gendry in season 8: Yes (2.55) No (1.47)

You can find the full list of our Game of Thrones markets here.

My favourite out of all the new lines is probably Brienne to marry Tormund (Yes - 5.340), but only because I ship those two hard and want to see 'ol Tormund finally get the girl of his dreams  

Has anyone placed a bet after episode 1? There wasn't too much revealed that changed the odds, but it'll be interesting to hear if anyone has seen the lines they bet on drop significantly after it aired.

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

[bbc.reporter]

@Cloudbet. My favorite is will Hodor appear as a white walker as a wight, in which my answer is yes hehehe.

I also like will Jaime kill Cersei?. My bet is no.

https://www.cloudbet.com/en/sports/entertainment/will-jamie-lannister-kill-cersei-lannister-in-s8/o1582333

There is also will Sandor kill Clegane?. That is another no bet for me. Clegane will kill Sandor, I reckon.

Hey while I would love to see Jon marry Daenerys I feel she’ll die with his child, so I don’t think he’ll get to marry her. Also it’s all but confirmed Bronn will kill our beloved Tyrion, for all those who need proof remember Olenna who poisoned Joffrey, died of poison and so did other stars like Ned, Littlefinger met their deaths the same way they gave it to others. I don’t think Arya is a wifey material, she’s not going to marry and settle down.
