I’ve been saying for weeks that Cersei Lannister (40/1) seems like the best bet to place a wager and I’m even more convinced of that now. She and her rented Army are well fed, rested and hanging out in the south while the Northerners just went through the epic battle with the Night King. Daenerys Targaryen lost most of her army in the process and there’s probably going to be some separation among the remaining challengers in regards to who is fighting (or not fighting) for who. Are both of her dragons at 100 percent? Dany is going to need them.
Arya Stark (9/1) was the hero of last week, killing the Night King, yet her odds are even more profitable following the episode.
The oddsmakers continue to believe Sansa Stark (7/4) and Bran Stark/Three-eyed Raven (9/4) are the front runners to be sitting on the Iron Throne at the end of the season. That still feels too easy. Sansa’s odds didn’t change from last week, while Bran’s changed slightly.
Jon Snow (5/1) saw his return decrease slightly, too, as he’s become more of a favorite.
I still have a hard time seeing Daenerys (11/1), who saw a slight decrease in return, so much lower than others on the list. She’s never been shy about telling everyone and anyone her intention is simple: To rule the Seven Kingdoms.
At the beginning of the season, the Petyr “Little Finger” Baelish rumors and speculation were catching fire. Since then, his odds have gone from 8/1 to 18/1. If you’re a believer in the thought that he’s still alive and is just biding his time to appear, now would be the time to invest. I still don’t see it happening; even if he’s still alive, I can’t see him weaseling his way to the top at the end.
In The Long Night, they made it clear that Tyrion Lannister (12/1) is only around for his knowledge at this point. That has had my conspiracy brain working overtime. What if Tyrion ends up on the Iron Throne at the end? Would that not be the most poetic justice for the one Lannister most of his family wished had never lived to end up as the most powerful one? I’m inclined to sprinkle some money on him; his odds remained the same over the last week.
It is about to go down, Game of Thrones fans.
We know you've been thinking this from the outset of Season 8, sitting back each of the last two Sunday nights and assuming someone important to the story was about to be killed off.
But now everyone is in place.
Now memories have been shared and emotional conversations have been had and the Night King has made his way to Winterfell - and there's no longer any debate:
The battle to end all battles is set to take place on Episode 3. This takes us back to the quesion that started the season:
Who will make it out of this uber fight alive?
And who, tragically, will not?
With anticipation building to an all-time high for this upcoming installment, we've handicapped all the major players below.
The characters are ranked from least likely to meet their demise to most likely/virtually guaranteed to kick it next weekend.
Example: 8,000-1 odds aren't great ... you'd win $8,000 if you bet $1. Flip side: 4-1 odds (bet $1 to win $4) are more solid.
So now that winter is fully here, here's who we think will end up in a perpetual freeze after The Battle at Winterfell ...
