With “Game of Thrones” hype at an all-time high, Las Vegas may be raking in as much money as the Iron Bank. HBO’s fantasy masterpiece has seized the gambling world’s attention nearly as much as the Super Bowl or Kentucky Derby. Fans spew countless theories on social media, such as which characters will be axed and who will sit on the Iron Throne, but betters put their money where their mouths are. Popular betting sites, like Bovada, have calculated the odds on Westeros’ most burning (and wildest) questions. For example, what are the odds that Arya will wear Littlefinger’s face? Here are the wildest bets you can make on the final season of “Game of Thrones:” Will Arya Wear Littlefinger’s Face? No: -300 Yes: +200 Will Cersei Give Birth? No: -260 Yes: +175 Does Tyrion Have a Secret Plot with Cersei? No: -200 Yes: +150 Who Will Win Cleganebowl? Sandor “The Hound” Clegane: -480 Gregor “The Mountain” Clegane: +300 Both Die Or Are Destroyed: +350 How Many Living People Will Arya Kill In Season 8? Over 3.5: -115 Under 3.5: -115 Will Quaithe Be Shown Again In The Final Season? No: -400 Yes: +300 What Will Bran Warg Into Next? Raven: +125 Dragon: +300 Human: +300 Wolf: +300 Other: +400 Who Will Die First? Euron Greyjoy: +200 Theon Greyjoy: +200 Cersei Lannister: +500 Jaime Lannister: +500 Yara Greyjoy: +1,000 Arya Stark: +1,500 Tyrion Lannister: +1,500 Daenerys Targaryen: +2,500 Jon Snow: +2,500 Sansa Stark: +2,500 Who Will Kill Cersei? Jaime Lannister: +130 Arya Stark: +150 Does Not Die: +550 Tyrion Lannister: +550 Sansa Stark: +1,000 Daenerys Targaryen: +2,000 Jon Snow: +2,000 The Night King: +2,000 Euron Greyjoy: +2,500 Qyburn: +2,500 Ellaria Sand: +4,000 The Mountain: +4,000 Jorah Mormont: +6,600 Who Will Rule Westeros? Jon Snow: +225 Bran Stark: +275 Sansa Stark: +500 Daenerys Targaryen: +550 Gendry: +650 Petyr Baelish: +1,250 The Night King: +1,500 Tyrion Lannister: +1,500 Arya Stark: +2,000 Samwell Tarly: +2,000 Cersei Lannister: +2,500 Jon and Daenerys’ baby: +2,500 Jaime Lannister: +4,000 Varys: +7,000 Davos Seaworth: +7,000 Bronn: +10,000 Euron Greyjoy: +10,000 Brienne of Tarth: +10,000 Jaqen H’ghar: +10,000 Jorah Mormont: +10,000 Melisandre: +10,000 Daario Naharis: +12,500 Beric Dondarrion: +12,500 The Hound: +12,500 Gilly: +15,000 Theon Greyjoy: +15,000 Yara Greyjoy: +15,000 Tormund Giantsbane: +15,000 The Mountain: +15,000 According to the odds, Jon Snow is the most likely to sit on the Iron Throne, assuming his rightful status as the true Targaryen heir. He’s followed closely behind by Bran Stark, who used his creepy greensight power to reveal the truth about his brother, er, cousin. Sansa, the current leader of Winterfell and serious doubter of Daenerys, edges out the Targaryen princess, who’s may have been building up her army all these past eight seasons for nothing. It’s interesting to note that Petyr Baelish a.k.a. Littlefinger, who seemingly had his throat slit in the Season 7 finale, still has a chance to take the Iron Throne. Some fans believe he may have faked his death and is still out there. The Greyjoy family, especially Euron and Theon, doesn’t get much love. The three remaining members are in the top five characters most likely to die first this season. Jaime is the most favored character to kill off his sister/lover this season, beating out Arya, who has the Mad Queen on her list of targets to kill. Finally, most fans think that Cersei is lying about being pregnant, and that she doesn’t have a secret plan with her brother Tyrion to break her alliance with Jon and Daenerys’ army, but only time will tell.<doc-sep>With just one episode of Game of Thrones left in the show’s eighth and final season, fans are making their final predictions on who lives, who dies and who will sit on the Seven Kingdoms’ hotly contested Iron Throne — and they’re putting their money down quite literally. (Let’s hope it’s a better investment than Cersei’s decision to shell out for the Golden Company.) Paddy Power, an online betting site in the U.K., calculated the updated odds on a future ruler — or rulers! — of Westeros and survival rates for the rest of the Thrones cast following the penultimate episode. Things have certainly changed for Daenerys Targaryen, Mother of Dragons, following her fiery rampage at King’s Landing: she’s now by far the favorite to die according to popular opinion on Paddy Power, with 1/4 odds for her death, which comes to about 80%. Of the other still-living fan favorites, Jon Snow has 5/4 odds to die, 4/7 to live; Tyrion Lannister is 6/4 to die, 1/2 to live; and Arya Stark is 5/2 to die, 1/4 to live, making her survival exactly opposite of Dany’s projected death. As for the final ruler of the Seven Kingdoms? Paddy Power players seem to think Bran Stark will take the crown, with 5/4 odds. He’s followed by his sister Sansa Stark at 5/2 odds, Jon Snow at 4/1, Arya Stark at 6/1 and no one at all with 8/1 odds. (At the very bottom of the list, with 400/1 odds, is good old Hot Pie.) The final episode of Game of Thrones airs on HBO at 9 p.m. on May 19, at which point we’ll know which bets were dead on, and which were just dead.

I’m not one to lose massive amounts of money playing poker in Vegas, but I do love March Madness brackets, fantasy sports, and really anything else where I can wager a small amount of cash in order to win bracing rights over my friends, which is why I’ve been on the hunt for some ways to enhance Game of Thrones this season with a few friendly wagers. Advertisement If you’re making wagers in Vegas, Bran Stark is expected to take the Throne. He was +220 odds. Jon Snow has +350, and Sansa Stark comes in third at +500. That said, Daenerys is trailing not too far behind with +700. If you happen to be in Vegas, you can place bets on everything from who will die first to who will take it all this season. If you’re not, I recommend doing something similar with your friends. This works just like you might do prop best on the Super Bowl. You print out a sheet for everyone in your crew and then have them fill them to before the premiere tonight. A number of different sites have created pool options for this, so the best plan is to scope your options and find one that works for you. I really like this one from BroBible, but wish it was actually printable rather than in article format, and this one from safest betting that just awards you when someone dies. This one from Action Network is just for today’s show, if you just want to spice up your premiere party. If the whole paper thing isn’t for you, the app Tally will also let you bet on the show, and you don’t have to put down any cash to do so. With its pool, you bet on what will happen in each of the six final episodes. Each game will have a $100 winner, and the season will have a single $1000 winner. Your chances of taking home the big prize there are slim (but good luck! ), but you can create a group of your friends within the app and use it to track your private pool weekly as well. Action Network also has a pool where you can win $500. Advertisement Given the season is a bit longer than a football game, I recommend snapping pictures of everyone’s forms and putting them somewhere central like a shared Google Drive folder so everyone can see how things are shaking out as the season progresses, and to prevent cheating. If the past seasons have taught us anything it’s that some people are willing to anything to win the Iron Throne.<doc-sep>
The series finale of “Game of Thrones” airs this Sunday, but many fans and critics argue there are still a lot of loose ends that risk going unresolved. So, what’s one way to take care of wayward plot points? Kill ’em. At least, that’s where many “GoT” fans are putting their money. Sports gambling platform BetOnline has just released their stats on which Stark their users think will die first, whether or not Jon or Tyrion survives, and even how, exactly, Daenerys will meet her demise, among other prop bets. So far this season, along with the torched masses of King’s Landing, several major characters have met their end, including Jamie and Cersei Lannister; Theon and cousin Euron Greyjoy; Jorah Mormont and cousin Lyanna (Lady Mormont); Ned Umber, who was found dead and pinned to the Wall; Night’s Watch Lord Commander Edd Tollett; the no-longer death-proof Beric; zombie guard “The Mountain;” “Red Witch” Melisandre; Qyburn, Missandei, Varys, The Hound and, finally, The Night King. Still, that leaves more than 20 major players who will return for this weekend’s finale, including the three remaining Stark siblings; brave warriors Tormund Giantsbane and Brienne of Tarthe, who managed to survive the Battle of Winterfell; Grey Worm, who was basically born to die in battle; Samwell Tarly, a trained scribe who some believe may be one of the few to document tell the tale; plus one dragon and a couple direwolves. First Stark To Perish Arya -200 Sansa +150 Bran +600 If I were a betting woman, I’d put my money on just about everyone dying, and it seems many BetOnline users might agree. Here’s the current breakdown: Some say Arya is already gone: Maybe not dead, but the final scene of episode seven, showing Arya galloping-off on a white horse that miraculously appears amid the rubble of King’s Landing, seems to suggest she may have been taking her last ride. But if she shows up in Winterfell during the last episode, Dany will certainly have hell to pay. Will Jon Snow Survive? Yes -800 No +500 Rumor has it that writer of the GoT novel George R.R. Martin has already shared with show-runners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss how Jon’s story ends, but what that is, and whether HBO will follow Martin’s arc for the King of the North, has yet to be seen. The fact the Jon, true heir to the Iron Throne and beloved leader, is so reluctant to take his place in power somehow makes his survival all the more justified. Will Tyrion Lannister Survive? Yes +300 No -500 Tyrion’s storyline from partying playboy to Queen’s hand has been one of the biggest character arcs of the show. But his favor is falling with Daenerys, who no longer trusts his word after he blabbed Jon’s true Targaryen origins to Sansa. And with the Mother of Dragon’s rapidly devolving into the Mad Queen, it’s hard to figure Tyrion will survive her wrath. Method In Which Daenerys Targaryen Perishes? Arrow +1600 Axe +800 Sword or Dagger -600 Fire +6600 Physical Force +2000 Hanging +1000 Poison +2200 Takes Her Own Life +1000 Survives +300 In one of the stiffest bets, some fans are putting their virtual chips on The Unburnt getting, well, burnt. Most, though, seem to think she’ll die at the hand of another — perhaps an avenging Arya or estranged boyfriend and nephew (yuck) Jon, a.k.a. Aegon Targaryen? One thing most feel sure of: She definitely won’t survive this.
