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

[buwaytress]

I have so far managed NOT to watch Episode 1, or even to hear about anything, and made the mistake of looking at odds discussions (not that, as Ronnie says, any odds have changed much). So I'm probably going to stay away from looking at future discussions until the season ends. It's going to be hard though, bloody news keeps being shoved in my face from Google. So yeah, if a spoiler leaks to me, I'm going to give in and watch.

Is anyone like me and just prefers watching everything in 1 go?

[bbc.reporter]

@buwaytress. I want the suspense hehehe. I also have some bets on Cloudbet's head to head who will die first which makes watching the first screening more exciting.

Does anyone have any predictions for episode 2? I reckon Jaime will be forgiven by Bran and Jon. Sansa and Arya will have their own apprehensions. However, they will not do anything for now hehe.

Daenarys might also begin losing more of her questionable influence as queen in the alliance.

I prefer just watch it directly after the episode released, join the hyped with other people. If you watch everything in 1 go, you don't feel the hype with others lol, but it's okay, every people have their own way to enjoy the series. I still believe Jon will rule in the end, especially after Sam "bla bla bla" to Jon.

No because spoilers are everywhere over the Internet especially on Reddit. I prefer to watch on the day a new episode is released to avoid that. But anyways 5 more episodes to go before the show is wrapped up for good so I don't think it's worth it to wait a month and a half for 6 hours of watching in 1 go.

Having no access to HBO that's what I do. Watch seasons in one go. If you intend to bet though, you must watch them before the season ends, maybe before the last ep airs. I can't wait for everyone to die, rendering all bets pointless LOL.

The web is dark and full of spoilers. It is known.

I actually never watched it, it took me 5 minutes to understand that this show is not interesting

If you don't want spoilers then you should not stay in reddit. Reddit spoil many TV shows, movies and many more. I remember that reddit has a spoiler in End Game also that's why I stopped staying on that platform.

I like watching a one by one episode. It's good for you just to follow the scenes on TV.  Rather than being left out.

[bbc.reporter]

@spadormie. Agreed. However Reddit is a good source of ideas and speculations if you are betting on the tv show hehehe. The Youtube channels Talking Thrones and Alt Shift X are also rich sources of information.

Game of Thrones will start in 30 minutes.

[EPISODE 2 SPOILERS]





Two episodes down and no deaths as yet, I've got a horrible feeling that Episode 3 is going to be a bloodbath  

I really enjoyed the last episode, so many reunions, so much banter, so much #EpicForgeSex. It's not surprising to see some of the 'who will win the throne' lines move dramatically!





There's been plenty of movement in the other outright markets too:



- Jon to marry Dany in season 8? Yes (4.23) No (1.20)

^ They are running out of time, and with one or both of them in the front lines of the battle for Winterfell, their budding relationship could be 'cut' short (geddit?)


Weirdly one of the lines actually moved the opposite direction to my expectations:

- Arya to marry Gendry in season 8? Yes (3.13) No (1.33)

^ I think the two of them finally 'getting it on' has lead to people assuming one or both of them will die in the near future (as no one is allowed happiness in GoT) and so the marriage option is off the table.


And one that I wasn't expecting to see that actually got me a little worried...

- Will Hodor appear as a White Walker or Wight in season 8? Yes (1.52) No (2.41)

^ Thats some short odds for Yes. Hoping it's not due to a leak, i'm not sure I can take seeing the big man as a wight! Could lead to some surprises for the showdown between NK and Bran though.


What were your thoughts on Episode 2?

Oh it will be be, this is what we will get when they cut ended the last few minutes of the show with tge army of the dead arriving at Winterfell. All the Game of Thrones related Youtube channels are guessing who will die and a lot of them are pretty good at predicting them as they somehow obtain leaks on the upcoming episodes. Whatever the truth is the next episode will be the start of the end. I'm guessing that most of the characters from the show won't survive by the end of next episode.

[Tipstar]

Why are people betting for Bran, he has nothing to do with the Iron Throne.
From the past experience, Many of the people would die on the next 3 episodes. But still I firmly believe the living would rule the seven kingdom.
But again does the Iron throne means the lord of seven kingdoms or the specific Valaryian Iron Chair in Kings landing?

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

It might not be due to a leak. It might be because Beric Donadarrion said that the Umbers are fighting for the Night King now. I reckon we can safely assume that we would see some dead characters revived as wights.

In any case, who will die on episode 3? Davos Seaworth is 3.46 in Bitcoinrush. He might not be as lucky this time hehehe.

[Cloudbet]

Some pretty crazy changes to the main 'Who will sit on the Iron Throne' odds today - Sansa is now ahead of Bran, and Gendry is ahead of both Jon and Tyrion!




Surely this must have something to do with a leak?

I'm a little worried that some of the characters that have been tipped to die in episode 3 have dropped from the market too

Definitely Bran in the series was not shaped to become the ruler of Westeros and the series made sure of that by making him crippled as well as the third-eyed raven. Just by Bran telling about Jon Snow's true identity really means a lot on how he wants his “brother” to know that he is the rightful heir to the Iron Throne, he chooses what truth he will say just like how he didn't told the truth on why Jaime killed the mad king in front of everyone including Daenerys.

But again does the Iron throne means the lord of seven kingdoms or the specific Valaryian Iron Chair in Kings landing?

Yes technically they always talk about the Iron Throne not the chair but the power behind as anyone who sits there is the King/Queen of the seven kingdoms. So it is really expected that this problem regarding the iron throne will be seen since the Battle at Winterfell will start next and after that there is still two episodes left.

I just started watching the series from the first season. This is really complicated lol and interesting too. I should have watched it earlier. I really wish I could watch all of it in one go. Betting on characters is interesting and I am eager to join the discussion after watching at the earliest.

Cant see Samwell "Red cheeks" Tarly in the list Who cares if he a coward, when he can outsmart most of the rednecks in the Kingdoms ?

If you just started now, the season will be done before you reach the current season.

To get you fast-tracked, the most loved characters almost always die. So you are safer to bet on those characters that are not so popular.

Which leak are you talking about? There are many leaks posted on Reddit and I am certain that all of them are fake.

Also, would Cloudbet consider offering odds for movie box office opening and ratings?

I feel you should have started earlier as it would have given you an edge while discussing with your friends, and even participating in discussions here and probably making some money too. The fact you have started now shows you’re really excited for it, so my advice for you is to binge watch it for more fun. If you’re interested to bet on characters then you should read bbc.reporter comments as you’ll get great insights from them.

Yeah, Exactly my thoughts. GOT is continually surprising fans in finals, possibly they will surprise once more. My most loved got character is Jon Snow so I wish Jon will sit on the Iron Throne at last he is the legitimate heir. We will have a lot of time to see other developments with the characters after the war, anyway.
