Game of Thrones returned with a bang this month and surprisingly none of the main characters got bumped off in the season opener. So the Game of Thrones Dead Pool is attracting a lot of attention because fans are expecting some of them to meet their demise at some point in the series. With the bookmaker, it is Petyr Baelish, played by Aidan Gillen who is the favourite at a price of even with Boylesports to be the first major character killed off at some point this season.
So the future doesn’t look good for him and that will be paying the price (2/7 odds to die at some point this season) for having created so many enemies down the line. Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish was backed heavily in the build up to the season seven premiere and the King Landing’s adviser continues to create problems and enemies for himself, particularly in helping Sansa Stark and Jon Snow get back Winterfell.
It is winter in Game of Throne and Baelish is stuck in the cold. Ellaria Sand has 1/7 odds at Boylesports on dying this year, while her odds for exiting first are set at 2/1. Also having taken some good backing the Game of Thrones Dead Pool at the moment is Queen of Westeros Cersei Lannister and after coming to the throne, she is 8/1 to get bumped off first this season while overall she is still sat at an odds on price of 5/6 to be killed during the season.
Lannisters brothers Jaime Lannister and Tyrion Lannister are 11/4 and 5/1, respectively to go this season and they could be in peril if oracles are right. The Greyjoys, Theon and his Uncle Euron, have 1/4 and 1/5 odds of dying this season. It’s a pretty massive market and really with the unpredictability of the show, it is hard to nail anything down and the longer odds options will attract punters. There is some confusion of course over whether or not Gregor “The Mountain” Clegane is actually alive, but he is 6/1 at Boylesports to die first.
Boylesports did also release odds of will be ruling Westeros even though it’s not likely to come to the fore until the end of the season. Dany is deemed the most likely ruler with 15/8 odds, followed by Snow at 2/1 odds. That is pretty much just the tip of the iceberg as well for Game of Thrones novelty betting at Boylesports and the option run pretty deep and wide. Punters will just have to keep watching and guessing.
