Warning: This article contains spoilers for Game of Thrones, and potential spoilers for future episodes—if gamblers have "little birds" like Lord Varys.
If Game of Thrones is known for one thing, it's surprising and gut-wrenching character deaths. (RIP, Ned and Robb Stark.) And as the show's sixth season starts to wrap up, viewers are sure to face at least one more on top of Hodor's tragic demise. People are actually putting money on whose head will roll next.
Irish bookmaking site BoyleSports set up a special market to see who might kick the bucket on the show next. It seems like people are expecting Jon Snow to win Sunday night's Battle of the Bastards, as Ramsay Bolton has the highest odds of dying next.
Cersei Lannister is next on the list, especially now that the Mountain can't defend her in a trial by combat. Tied for third place are her son, King Tommen, who clearly picked the wrong side of the crown vs. faith battle, and fan favorite Brienne of Tarth, who just failed to get the Blackfish's troops to fight the Boltons.
Here are the odds for all the major characters:
- Ramsay Bolton: 1/3
- Cersei Lannister: 11/4
- Brienne of Tarth: 9/2
- Tommen Baratheon: 9/2
- Melisandre: 11/2
- Margaery Tyrell: 8/1
- Bronn: 9/1
- Jon Snow: 9/1
- Jamie Lannister: 10/1
- Tyrion Lannister: 16/1
- Theon Greyjoy: 16/1
- The Hound: 20/1
- Arya Stark: 33/1
- Lord Varys: 33/1
- Daenerys Targaryen: 33/1
