One of the all time best sportsbooks is offering odds on one of the best TV shows of all time. Game of Thrones is still months away from mercifully being back on the air. But, fans can get in on some early GOT action at Bovada Sportsbook. Bovada is taking bets on “Who will rule Westeros at the end of Season 8?”.
Who Will Rule Westeros? Odds; Bran Stark-500: Sansa Stark +400: Tyrion Lannister +750: Jon Snow +800: Daenerys Targaryen +1500: Arya Stark +3000: Gendry +3000: Jon and Daenerys’ baby +3300: Samwell. According to betting news site Odds Shark, relaying odds from the online offshore gambling site Bovada, it will be Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright) in charge when Game of Thrones ends. Who Will Rule Westeros? Odds; Bran Stark +120: Sansa Stark +275: Jon Snow +500: Gendry +600: Daenerys Targaryen +900: Tyrion Lannister +900: Jon and Daenerys’ Baby +1500: Arya Stark +2200.
Bovada Wager Rule: “The Wager will be settled based on the confirmed ‘King’ or ‘Queen’ of the Andals and the First Men. If there is no King or Queen, whomever rules or controls King’s Landing will be deemed the winner.”
Below you will find a rundown of all the major contenders and their betting odds for who will rule Westeros at the show’s end! But before we hit the odds… Here is our favorite theory from reddit poster spirgnob.
“White Walkers begin marching on Northern cities and destroying them one by one. When they approach Winterfell the decision is made to abandon the castle and head for King’s Landing. When the gang gets to KL Cersei turns on them and will not allow them in the city. After Jaime fails to negotiate with Cersei he returns and leads the siege on KL. The dragons are unleashed and one dies in battle. Upon reaching the red keep the mountain and the hound fight it out for a bit before Arya lands the killing blow, saving the hound. Jaime kills Cersei. Jon and Dany marry and are now king and queen. Dany delivers a baby boy.
Bran explains that the boy is the prince that was promised. The walkers made a pact thousands of years ago that when the prince arrives he would be promised to the night king/walkers. Jon and Dany agree that they will not give the child up. The walkers arrive to KL and Dany rides Drogon into battle. Drogon dies. Dany is taken captive by the NK. Jon is faced with the dilemma of giving up their child or losing Dany. He chooses the child and Dany is killed (completing the forging of lightbringer losing one dragon to ice water, one to the heart of a lion/Lannister and being forced to sacrifice his true love). Jon leads a last rally attack and defeats the night king in one on one combat.
So I like Jon, Sansa (in case Jon refuses the throne or dies in combat), Tyrion, Jaime, and Varys because +7500 odds are fat af.”
The former pit fighter and member of the Second Sons was last seen getting dumped by Daenerys before she left for Westeros. If this was a Battle Royale or Hunger Games type contest he would be a lot better option. He is one of many to get Bovada Sportsbook’s longest odds of 100 to 1.
Left for dead by Arya, the Hound is thankfully back and odds are also available on who will win in the inevitable match-up between him and the brother who burnt him as a child, the now near zombie Mountain. It is already one of the most anticipated showdowns and should be one of the legendary battles of the final season.
Daughter of the Insane and incestuous Craster, Gilly was since rescued and is now alongside Sam Tully. She is as nice of a person as she is intellectually limited…She would be at even worse odds if this were a spelling bee.
Fierce warrior and brother of Theon, Yara is currently being held prisoner after being captured and gifted by her uncle Euron. Her brother who cowardly did nothing to stop her capture is now leading the charge for her rescue, not the most ideal starting position if you are going to rule the kingdoms.
Has earned the title of right hand man to Jon Snow, essentially his vice-president, after helping to get him resurrected and then going on to proclaim him King of the North after the retaking of Winterfell. A lot of people need to die before the throne falls to him.
Arguably the toughest ginger of all time, Tormund is one of the former leaders of the Free Folk who has since teamed with Jon Snow. He fell for Brienne of Tarth, which if pursued could result in the most battle ready infant of all time.
The previous capturer of Jamie Lannister and protector of Sansa Stark, Brienne is now aligned with Jon Snow and the North in their quest against the White Walkers. Too ancillary of a character to have serious throne intentions.
A smart warrior who has past helped Lannisters Jamie and Tyrion, both of which are strong examples at how well skilled Bronn is not only on the battlefield but even more so with aligning himself with the right people.
Jorah was able to come back from Greyscale disease after being cured by Sam Tully, but it’s his obvious love for Daenerys that will likely lead to his eventual demise.
Arya’s former trainer member of the Faceless Men of Braavos, Jaqen is a capable adversary but considering he often hides in the shadows he isn’t likely the type to have his eye on the throne.
Known as ‘The Red Woman’, Melisandre revived Jon Snow from the dead and believes him to be a prince. She also believed burning a child at the stake would help in battle so her judgement will always remain in question.
Theon is the first of two castrated entries. Considering his consistent cowardice throughout the scope of the show it seems safe to assume his ability to win the most coveted chair in the land is severely limited.
The most relatable of all the male characters, Sam is a genuinely good person who consistently looks out for others. Since this isn’t a network sitcom, he likely has no chance of winning.

The second person on the list with no genitals and as such known as The Eunuch, Varys is a sly behind the scenes manipulator who is well versed in the GOT political game playing.
The bastard and unknown son of the House Baratheon, Gendry is the last known living member of his lineage. He has survived seduction by Melisandre and being sent away in a rowboat despite not knowing how to swim. Anything is possible.
Uncle to Theon and Yara, Euron is now the Commander of the Lannister Fleet after gifting Ellaria and Tyrene Sand to Cersei. Considering how over the top his contemptible manner is much like Joffrey and Ramsey before him, it would be a great surprise if he didn’t end up falling in some sort of horrible death.
Lady Sansa has the clear political acumen to be a viable throne possibility, especially after acting as essentially the Queen of the North while Jon Snow was away as well as her diabolical handling of Petyr Baelish’s betrayal.
Trouble is brewing between Jamie and his Cersei, his twin sister that he also has an incestuous relationship with that has resulted in three of her children. He is the odds on favorite to be the one to eventually take out Cersei. Unfortunately there seems to be many other contenders and battle landmines in front of him to eventually take over the throne.
The wily youngest daughter of the Stark family, Arya can never be counted out of any situation thanks to her faceless ability as a deadly assassin. The main drawback to investing in her chances would be her general dislike of anything political and the game playing necessary to succeed on the throne.
The most awesomely evil matriarch on television since Tony Soprano’s mother, Cersei has been on a reign of terror ever since her infamous walk of shame. She is also the only character who has odds on who will end up killing her, so Cersei’s chances for eventual survival to win the crown seem realistically limited.
The diminutive fan favorite has fair odds from the sportsbook considering just how well versed he is in the game itself and how many times he has managed to outmaneuver his way out of certain perish. Those foolish enough to doubt his abilities have been proven wrong so many times over, it would be wise for the casual bettor to ignore that trend and back the legendary Tyrionn.
Game of Thrones has never had an issue with evil triumphing over good, and it would make logical sense that the most dominantly wicked person in the land that heads easily the largest army would have a significant chance of settling down on the chair of swords to end the series. At 10-1 he carries the best betting value of any of the ‘bad guy’ options in the group.
The new Three-Eyed Raven, Bran now has second sight ability to help against the White Walkers. This unfortunately paints a bulls-eye on his back, though it may not matter anyways for this wager as he doesn’t seem to have any sort of care when it comes to playing for the throne. Instead he seems intent to continue talking with the emotional range of Lily on Modern Family.
No longer the King of the North, Snow chose to bend the knee to Daeneyrs and is now set up to battle the Whitewalkers as the main event in season 8. If giving this little odds, I would rather go with his aunt/lover up next to take the title.
Once said, “I was born to rule the Seven Kingdoms, and I will.” The Mother of Dragons definitely has the drive to win and with her storyline always pointing in this direction it’s easy to see why she is the odds on favorite.

Remember that little known show Game of Thrones that dominated all of our lives for the best part of eight years before wrapping up back in 2019?
It was recently announced that Kit Harington is joining the second season of Amazon's Modern Love, which got us thinking: what are the rest of them up to?
We're not going to list every cast member because who has time for that? But we've taken a look at the biggest players to find out who has been the busiest since parting ways with Westeros.
12. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime)
© Europa Press News - Getty Images Nikolaj Coster-WaldauNikolaj Coster-Waldau is swapping Westeros for Netflix survival drama Against the Ice, which he also created.
Set in 1909, he plays a captain determined to refute the US's claim to North Eastern Greenland. Gangs of London and Peaky Blinders' star Joe Cole plays a crew member.
That's the most commercial project he's worked on.
The Silencing, in which he played a man whose daughter went missing years ago, was panned by critics, and terrorist drama The Day We Died didn't make much noise outside of Denmark.
He also starred in romantic drama A Taste of Hunger, in which he played one half of a couple running a successful restaurant in Copenhagen who will do anything to secure a Michelin star.
11. Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei)
© Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic Nathalie Emmanuel at the Game of Thrones season 6 premiereNathalie Emmanuel starred in Hulu's reboot of Four Weddings and a Funeral, which received lukewarm reviews at best. And comedy-drama Holly Slept Over, which follows a married couple who are trying to have a baby, also failed to capture people's imaginations.
Like Lena Headey (about whom more later), Emmanuel also appeared in Netflix's The Dark Crystal, and there was action-comedy Die Hart with Kevin Hart and John Travolta (Greece).
She has bagged a role in the upcoming F9, also known as Fast & Furious 9, and the prequel to Zack Snyder's Netflix movie Army of the Dead, alongside the following:
Emmanuel has also worked on audio series Unsinkable, with fellow GoT actor Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Succession's Brian Cox, Space Force's John Malkovich, and there's The Coldest Case, which reunites Breaking Bad'sAaron Paul and Krysten Ritter.
10. Isaac Hempstead Wright (Bran)

It follows a group of people who are sent into space to look for a new home, but the crew soon start to turn against one another.
His other project, The Blue Mauritius, stars Anthony Mackie (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) and Elodie Yung (Daredevil). It follows five thieves who meet in Cape Town to swipe the most expensive stamp in the world.
9. Gwendoline Christie (Brienne)

She was the main event in the National Theatre's A Midsummer Night's Dream, and she also took on a minor role in The Personal History of David Copperfield, which has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 92%.
In big news, she has also been cast as Lucifer in Netflix's adaptation of Neil Gaiman's The Sandmanwith the following lovely lot:

He's also been cast in sci-fi action flick Moonfall with Halle Berry, Stanley Tucci, Patrick Wilson, Charlie Plummer, Donald Sutherland and Michael Peña among others.
On a slightly more lowkey level, he starred in season four of Urban Myths, a comedy-drama that tackles famous stories from popular culture, alongside fellow GoT alum Mark Addy and Steve Pemberton (Inside No. 9).
7. Alfie Allen (Theon)

He starred in the movie adaptation of Caitlin Moran's novel How to Build A Girl with Beanie Feldstein (Booksmart) and Paddy Considine (The Third Day), which has a 79% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. And he had a minor role in Taika Waititi's JoJo Rabbit, a film that divided opinion.

He's also set to star in Netflix thriller Night Teeth with Insatiable's Debby Ryan and Lucy Fry (Godfather of Harlem). It centres on a chauffeur who must fight for survival after a routine job turns into a nightmare.
In Nightwalkers (not White Walkers), Allen stars as a young man, looking for love, who meets a woman, played by Riverdale's Madelaine Petsch.
And there's also La Cha Cha, which he's appearing in with his dad Keith Allen (The Pembrokeshire Murders) and other former Twin Town stars Rhys and Llyr Ifans, among others.

'The film is about a woman who wants to be a ballroom dancer who inherits the campsite from her grandmother,' said director Kevin Allen (via WalesOnline), Keith's brother.
6. Sophie Turner (Sansa)

Who Will Rule Westeros Betting
She starred in X-Men: Dark Phoenix, which we gave an entirely acceptable three stars. Other publications weren't so kind.
She was also the face of a series called Survive on the now defunct Quibi, which involved her character trying to reach home after a plane crash.
Turner will also take centre stage in Broken Soldier with Goodfellas Ray Liotta, which revolves around a former soldier who is struggling with PTSD.
And there's also HBO Max's The Prince, an animated series which centres on Prince George. She's voicing his sister, Princess Charlotte, alongside Orlando Bloom among others.
5. Maisie Williams (Arya)
© Stephane Cardinale - Corbis/Corbis via Getty Images Maisie WilliamsAfter Thrones concluded, Maisie Williams said that she wanted to take a step back from acting, which was to be expected after spending more than eight years working on the series.
“I guess, subconsciously, I dyed it [hair] because I didn’t want to work,” Williams told Rolling Stone. 'It's a pretty good way of stopping that. And it just feels so good, so me.
'What's hit me the most about the show ending isn't the show ending. It's like, I'm free. I can do anything now.'
Since then, she has thrown herself into other creative pursuits, such as fashion, but Williams hasn't abandoned acting completely.
She appeared in X-Menspinoff The New Mutants with Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen's Gambit) and Charlie Heaton (Stranger Things), alongside others. But it was received poorly by critics and fans.
She also starred in Two Weeks to Live with Fleabag's Sian Clifford, The Bay's Taheen Modak, and comedian, actor and writer Mawaan Rizwan. The comedy follows Williams as Kim, a young woman who, after living in the middle of nowhere with her mum, decides to leave home. But she ends up on the run from some very angry gangsters. We were big fans, and you can read our review here.
Williams also starred in The Owners, a home-invasion horror, which didn't set the world alight. We gave it three stars.
4. Emilia Clarke (Daenerys)
© Steve Granitz / Contributor - Getty Images Hair, Face, Eyebrow, Skin, Hairstyle, Lip, Shoulder, Beauty, Chin, Head,After playing the mighty Mother of Dragons, Emilia Clarke has taken some time to enjoy her newfound freedom, and who can blame her?
She starred in Last Christmas alongside Crazy Rich Asians' Henry Golding and Michelle Yeoh, and Emma Thompson, who also co-wrote it. Paul Feig (A Simple Favour, Ghostbusters reboot, Bridesmaids) was on board as director.
And she's also doing a spot of voice acting in The Amazing Maurice, an animated film based on Terry Pratchett's The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, alongside Hugh Laurie, Gemma Arterton, David Thewlis, Himesh Patel (Yesterday) and Hugh Bonneville.
3. Kit Harington (Jon)
© Getty Images Kit Harington, Emmy's 2019As one of the major players in GoT, it'll come as no surprise that Kit Harington's CV is looking solid. He took some time out at a 'wellness retreat to work on some personal issues', according to his representative, but he has since appeared in Netflix's police anthology Criminal: UK, which has received praise from both critics and the public.
He's also bagged himself a role in the second season of Amazon's Modern Love, an anthology series based on the New York times column of the same name. In a huge coup, he'll also be appearing in Marvel'sEternals as a character called the Black Knight, who you can read all about here.
2. Lena Headey (Cersei)
© Dan MacMedan - Getty Images Lena HeadeyLena Headey was already an established name prior to joining the adaptation of George RR Martin's novel series, so it's a given that her career is bobbing along nicely.
She has been working on Crooks with Juno Temple (Ted Lasso, Dirty John) and independent filmmaker Mark Kassen.
Headey is also set to appear in indie drama Gypsy Moon, in which she plays a burlesque dancer at the end of her career who is forced to go on the run with a young boy from her neighbourhood after an ex-partner threatens his life. Sam Worthington (Avatarfranchise), Dean Scott Vasquez (Jack Ryan) and Barbara Hershey (the Insidious films) all feature.
Headey is also the star of Showtime comedy-drama Rita, in which she plays a teacher and a single mother. It's based on an award-winning Danish series.
And she has been cast in Gunpowder Milkshake as Scarlet, a hitwoman who gave up her daughter Sam (Karen Gillan) when she was younger. Sam is raised by a crime syndicate and learns how to be just like momma, but when an eight-year-old comes into her life, she must decide which one to choose.
Headey also worked on Netflix's time travel animated series Wizards: Tales of Arcadia, created by Guillermo del Toro, in which Merlin's apprentice is caught in between human, troll and magical worlds. And she did some voice acting in Netflix's The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance..
Further animated work includes a villain in Nickelodeon's Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and the critically-acclaimed Infinity Train, which began its life on Cartoon Network, before moving to HBO. Like Snowpiercer, it's set on a huge train that just keeps chugging along. For people to move from one carriage to the next, they must complete challenges, which in turn help them deal with emotional problems and trauma.
Heady was cast in Twist, the movie adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic, which she appeared in with Jude Law's son Raff, Rita Ora, Michael Caine and Noel Clarke among others, thought it was critically panned.
Headey will also appear in Marvel's New-Gen: Deadalus Rising, an animated sci-fi series also starring Luke Wilson. Stranger Things' Finn Wolfhard and his brother are twins and nanotech-enhanced superheroes who are fighting to prevent all out war. The Witcher's Anya Chalotra has also been cast.
She will also appear in Netflix anime series Masters of the Universe: Revelation, based on theHe-Manfranchise, with Mark Hamill, Sarah Michelle Gellar, fellow GoT co-star Liam Cunningham and Alicia Silverstone (Clueless). among others.
1. Peter Dinklage (Tyrion)
© Getty Images Peter DinklageLike Headey, Peter Dinklage was already well acquainted with the industry before he rocked up on Game of Thrones, and he went straight from Thrones into the MCU, in Avengers: Infinity War.
He recently starred in Netflix's I Care A Lot as a gangster on a mission to rescue his mother from the clutches of a wicked professional legal guardian played by Rosamund Pike. We gave it four stars, but reviews were mixed across the board.
It was also announced that he's signed up for The Dwarf, which is being directed by The Machinist's Brad Anderson. Dinklage is playing a nefarious right-hand-man to a prince, and Alexander Skarsgard (Big Little Lies) is also said to be involved.
There's also The Wild Bunch remake, a western starring Jamie Foxx (Soul) and Michael Fassbender (X-Men), with Mel Gibson (Braveheart) said to be directing.
And indie film American Dreamer, written by Hidden Figure's Theodore Melfi, which he'll appear in with Shirley MacLaine. It's based on a true story from the This American Life podcast.
Dinklage and Josh Brolin will play brothers in a film called, well, Brothers.
There's also thriller The Thicket, in which Dinklage will be joined by IT'sSophia Lillis, Noomi Rapace, and Looking For Alaska's Charlie Plummer. It follows one man's quest to rescue his sister, who has been abducted.
And on a lighter note, Dinklage has been cast in Hitpig with Rainn Wilson (The Office), RuPaul and comedian Hannah Gadsby, among others, which revolves around a porcine bounty hunter and an elephant.
He also voiced a character in animated flick The Croods: A New Age, and played a role in Kate McKinnon's Audible fantasy-comedy Heads Will Roll.
