Topic: Game of Thrones - Who will rule? Odds and betting discussion [Odds updated!] - page 12. (Read 27539 times)

Gendry is not a king material. How can someone who spent all his life forging weapons can suddenly turn as a ruler. However, there is a possibility that throne may return to Baratheon family but who can become ruler? Well, yes Stannis Baratheon and who else! But he's dead! Well, did anyone see his head detaching from his body when Brienne of Tarth wield her sword? Who knows if Brienne actually killed him or there was some sentimental conversation among them and she let him go. Anything is possible!

By the way, my vote is on democracy! GoT will end with the end of monarchy and democracy will rule the seven kingdoms. 

Hey while Gendry has lived so far in the show he’s definitely not going to be sitting on the iron throne, if he does survives he might try to be the hand of the king. I don’t know why you would want stannis as he’s been dead since quiet a while now. Also I’m keen to avoid spoilers cause each time I read one, I only keep thinking about it the entire day and then I realise April 14 is yet far away.

Afternoon all,

As some of you have been in contact to ask about our Game of Thrones bitcoin betting markets I thought I'd stop by to share some info!

We are currently offering lines on ‘Who will sit on the Iron Throne at the end of season 8’, as well as ten different head to head matchups on ‘Who will die first?’ (push on no death):

- Sandor Clegane vs Gregor Clegane (Clegane Bowl get hype!)  
- Brienne Of Tarth vs Tormund Giantsbane (As long as Tormund gets his kiss first!)
- Jon Snow vs Bran Stark
- Cersei Lannister vs Daenarys Targaryen
- Jaime Lannister vs Tyrion Lannister
- Theon Greyjoy vs Euron Greyjoy
- Bronn vs Varys
- Sansa Stark vs Arya Stark (Noooooooooo!)  
- Melisandra vs Davos Seaworth
- Gilly vs Hot Pie (Battle of the titans!)  

Check out our full list of our Game of Thrones lines along with the related odds here.

We’ve also just published a new blog (written by my own fair hand) detailing the contenders, and my thoughts on who could be the character to emerge victorious. Check it out here.

I personally think Tyrion Lannister is great value at (8.43) to take the throne at the end of the season. I’m doubtful that many of the current favourites are going to survive the impending bloodbath, and Tyrion seems ideally placed just outside the inner circle to have everything fall into his lap. What do you think about his chances? I’ve also got a funny feeling Gendry (7.30) could sneak a win at the end, it would be weirdly fitting for someone who’s not even playing the ‘game’ to win the throne.

Now I'm aware our min stakes might be on the high side, so to sweeten the deal a little bit I’m offering an exclusive Bitcointalk flash bonus to anyone wanting to place Game of Thrones bets at Cloudbet:

The next 10 players who place a bet on any Game of Thrones line at Cloudbet and PMs me their Bet ID (or post it here) will receive 50 free spins on one of our most popular bitcoin slot games!

That should keep you busy while we wait for the new series to finally start!

Lastly, don’t forget to let me know what you think of the predictions in our blog, I’m fully prepared for my theories to get torn apart in the first five minutes by the bitcointalk freefolk  

Ronnie @ cloudbet

Of course I am aware and he is the guy who I was pointing out that he is going to take the throne!
I am glad that someone realized that! I would love to see Stannis taking over the iron throne but he is dead, so Gendry is going to work for me. I don't think that there is no reason that they kept him alive all these seasons. He may be a key role in the TV series.

Interesting. Yeah i've read a couole of fan  theories that dany will die along with jon snow. That leaves us without the 2 people with legitimate claims to the iron throne. I'm not betting sansa. She's lovely but she likely won't survive the war. And cersei. She'd probably be killed either by jamie or tyrion. I'd bet on the offspring of jon and dany to be the one to sit on the the throne. It's anyone's guess anyway.

Agreed. I edited my post and added a warning.

Also, Cloudbet replied to my request and said that they cannot reduce the minstake for the Game of Thrones betting because they are high risk outright markets. Should they not reduce the maxstake instead?

In any case, if anyone knows another sportsbook that offers betting on Game of Thrones, please share them. Thank you!

Ah, the sweet summer children are dreaming of spring even here. 

I'm betting that Cersei would stay on the throne (assuming they don't pull that prophecy thing). If not maybe either Tyrion as regent or Sansa.

The latter have no claims but it'll be a twisted fulfillment of Littlefinger's dream of them being on the throne. (D&D love disappointing us)

I don't believe Dany would survive. Many are speculating she will be the sacrifice for Lightbringer or something close to that.

Saw someone mentioned Varys continuing to influence from the shadows. No. The Holy Mother of Shadowbabies said that herself.

Baratheon family? You are aware that the bastard gendry is the only living baratheon now right? So that's highly unlikely. Spoilers seem to be popping up quite often now though most of them are questionable lol. Just a few more months guys lol.

Man, I do not like to go against the odd makers, they do know something we probably don't know, I have seen plenty of stuff that were subjective and not a soccer game result type deal just like beauty contests and all that and they knew by far which one would win on stuff like that as well, so I do not like to bet against the odds that much unless I know something like injury and all that. BUT, BUT, bran ? Really?

I mean three eyed raven should not be the king of all places, I mean this is a kid as well, you have to make him earn the respects and trust of everyone in kings landing and all surrounding places and how do you really plan on making that when its an arrogant all seeing crippled little boy? Weirder stuff happened in GoT but Bran sitting on Iron Throne after all is said and done would be the weirdest ending to it all.

I would bet on Sansa, I mean danny and jon is just too powerful to ever sit on there forever, Jon probably doesn't even want it, they will either have a child or one will die and the other one will just want to live a normal life whereas Sansa really wants to rule and she does look like she could with Arya supporting her.

This is an easy way to accumulate a huge amount of money through minimum hassle and I do believe that there are some people out there doing this right now. Luck is certainly in their favor here.

Enjoying the final season of GOT and winning big money is truly amazing indeed.

I wonder how many people close to the writer or actors have friends who could make a quick buck from this eh? Might not win much on an outright, but you could certainly take bags of money and make markets for all the characters they KNOW won't sit on the throne. Makes me feel the winner probably has very low payouts (therefore, most expected) after all.


But both Cloudbet and Nitrogensports have had recent allegations against them NOT paying out wins or cancelling bets. The latter even on a very dubious Asian Handicap bet that half pushed, half won on a parlay and apparently revealed that it had very bad AH reputations.

Cloudbet's also withheld in the past apparently, although negative ratings were recently adjusted to neutral, so he's probably justified in worrying. Besides, the amount shouldn't matter for trust. $1 or $1000 shouldn't have a say on how they handle your funds.

Check trust ratings of each to see what I mean. I would bet, but I would never tell people their money is safe on those reputations.

Personally, I think that the throne will get back to the Baratheon family where it all started.
I don't think that all the favorites are going to rule, Jon Snow, Danearys, Bran, Sansa etc will probably all die while fighting the Whitewalkers.

I would be happy to see such a situation in the show and I will probably bet for it. It is a value bet for me!

After reading this article, I reckon Jon might live. However, he might not sit on the iron throne and might also retire somewhere with his child without Daenerys. I also predict that Daenerys will die under the very stressful occurrences of her child's birth.

Help me make a request for the reduction of Cloudbet's minstake in the Game of Thrones betting. It has the best format. Thank you!



Game of Thrones' Kit Harington Is Satisfied With Jon Snow's Ending

While there are still many more weeks to go before Game of Thrones returns (let alone ends), Harington is speaking a bit about the end of this decade long journey. In an interview with Variety, Harington mentions that he wrapped filming the day after co-star Peter Dinklage and recalls the emotional end to his last day, but also that he had the same reaction to reading the scripts for the season. He also said, "The end of Jon’s journey, whatever that may be … I was satisfied with how his story ended."

With so many different possible outcomes for Game of Thrones, it's impossible to know exactly how Jon's story will end. Many viewers want to see him wind up on the Iron Throne and take his place as the rightful king, but proving he's actually the man he'll surely learn he is will not be an easy task. If he can't prove his identity, then he could take on several other roles within the same political realm.

Hey I feel Daenarys shall die in the the episodes to come, her death will make Jon want to avenge her death but I feel there’re chances it’ll be Sansa who’ll kill her. If you remember Jon has already said he’s not interested in the iron throne, but he’ll want to recover Targaryen legacy if he survives. I strongly feel Sansa shall rule as she’s survived a lot, and has all the makings of a strong queen.

Bran Stark has the highest odds on this list, outranking Jon Snow and Daenerys: https://www.bitcoinsportsbetting.co.uk/news/iron-throne/



The page has interesting discussion as well - theories, connect-the-dots insights, and more. Most shocking theory to me (which actually was sound) — Bran Stark and Night King could be one???

The book series and the tv series is a lot different from each other that is why who will be alive at the end of this season is still unknown. In the books Rickon Stark is still alive and is head of the Stark family while in House Targaryen there is another white-haired member who is alive named Aegon Targaryen in the tv series they just made Jon Snow and Aegon Targaryen one person. So really if you are expecting an ending coming from the book chances are really low as they have made big changes for the tv series to go to a different direction.

@spadormie. George R.R. Martin is also writing for the tv show. He only has the creative rights for how the story should be written.

In any case I have already made a request for Cloudbet to lower the minstake for the Game of Thrones betting. I hope they lower it, they have the best betting format available for the show.

See? The writer is not finished writing the story. And what news we received? The production of game of thrones TV series finished filming. Sometimes a TV show is not based on books.

Im sorry but i dont wat h game of thrones. Correct me if im wrong but is GOT based on a novel like twilight and harry potter? If yes then betting on that would be funny. Its my first time to encounter a betting game based on a tv series and kuddos to the OP for being so clever.
