Everyone must go: Here are this week's Game Of Thrones dead pool odds
It’s finale week, and almost everyone’s in play. Eckstein The Oddsmaker said all the major characters—Jaime, Jon, Cersei, etc.—are here to stay, so we’re leaning harder on the B-characters this week. Plus, we’ve got some odds on several Prophecies For Profit.
Here are this week’s odds:
2-1 The Mountain
Eckstein the oddsmaker says: It looks like CleganeBowl is coming, and I think the zombies lose.
The A.V. Club says: Can you kill a dead guy?
5-1 Littlefinger
Eckstein the oddsmaker says: He’s just so sleazy. Someone has to kill him.
The A.V. Club says: It all depends on whether Arya’s on to him. So far, it doesn’t look like she is, but she’s also proven herself to be a talented actress.
10-1 Yara Greyjoy
Eckstein the oddsmaker says: They need to bring her back and kill her already, for crying out loud.
The A.V. Club says: For real. Where is Yara?
20-1 The Hound
Eckstein the oddsmaker says: We think he’s going to win, so long odds on The Hound.
The A.V. Club says: It does feel like there’s still more to The Hound’s story.
25-1 Sansa
Eckstein the oddsmaker says: She could be in trouble, because Arya’s pissed.
The A.V. Club says: If Sansa’s going to die, it’s going to be her own fault.
8-1 The Field: Qyburn, Varys, Jorah Mormont, Greyworm, Bronn, Melisandre, Davos, Beric, Tormund Giantsbane, Brienne Of Tarth, Euron Greyjoy
Prophecies for profit:
Note: Bets placed here stay active throughout the course of the show.
5-1 Jon will slay the ice dragon.
Eckstein the oddsmaker says: It might not happen this week, but it’ll happen eventually.
The A.V. Club says: But it’s Daenerys’ kid, and he’s trying to woo her!
10-1 The Wall comes down
Eckstein the oddsmaker says: It’s lasted for years, but George R.R. Martin will do some strange shit.
The A.V. Club says: It would be a dramatic ending to the season.
25-1 Bran is the Night King
Eckstein the oddsmaker says: I’m just throwing out some fun prophecies for the final episode.
The A.V. Club says: It’s a popular theory online for a reason.
100-1 This week, we’ll have Red Wedding 2. Everyone gets destroyed, and there is no season eight.
Eckstein the oddsmaker says: I’ve finally gone off the rails. Maybe I’ve been touched by the Night King.
The A.V. Club says: Not gonna happen.
