If you’ve spent the past few weeks mercilessly annoying your friends with a batshit Game of Thrones theory about how Ned Stark is the Night King or that the Mountain will eventually rule Westeros, well, you’re in luck! Bookies in Vegas are currently taking bets on the final season of Game of Thrones, according to Variety—and you can make some serious money if your bonkers prediction actually comes true.
You can wager on, well, basically everything: Who will live and die by the end of the eighth season, what Arya Stark’s kill count might be, if Cersei’s baby is actually a thing, and whether that freaky-ass woman with the wood mask from season two will come back, in case anyone cares about that. Also, uh, people are betting on whether Aidan Gillen will get a cameo if Arya wears Littlefinger’s face?
According to the betting site Bovada, the current GoT odds lean towards Jon Snow eventually taking the Iron Throne. That seems pretty solid, given his Targaryen parentage, if the guy can avoid dying in some tragic and heroic moment of self-sacrifice in the meantime. Bran is the second-most likely to take the Throne, followed by Sansa and Daenerys. But if someone like the Hound somehow manages to survive the final season bloodshed and rule the Iron Kingdom, whoever bet on it would make a shitton in the payout—put $100 on him, and you’ll walk away with more than $12,000.
Speaking of the Hound (also known as Sandor Clegane), odds are in his favor for winning the fight against his brother, the Mountain, which Bovada has dubbed the "Cleganebowl."
Here’s a rundown of some of the betting odds, via Variety:

So if you’re sure that Euron is destined for death in the next episode or you’ve somehow dissected every Song of Ice and Fire book and are convinced you know who Azor Ahai will be, go on down to Vegas and place some bets. And to any lowly HBO production assistants out there who happened to work on the GoT set this year, please—hit me up. Slip me a little insider information about who’s going to die in the Battle of Winterfell and we can both win enough money to make the Iron Bank of Braavos jealous. Let’s do this thing.
