Oh right. Forgot the Puritans outlawed fun with money.

I'd bet the fucking house on Jon if I could.

Thinking of putting $50 on Jon to win $500. Though I am considering Sansa and Dany hedges as well.

My money is on Jon....

10/1 that's sick... I would put $500 on that.

Why on earth would Sansa have better odds than Jon?

Absolutely no way Dany is getting that throne at this point.

Too many people think like Kath that Jon will give up the throne and head north for a reunion with his BFF's. Hence Bran and Sansa being the frontrunners. Seems like some sharps might have inside information that Bran will win, or Jon won't, and they trust those sources, otherwise the lines makes no sense, public betting idiocy alone wouldn't explain it, I don't think. Though public betting idiocy does explain Littlefinger at +6000, so you never know.

So might be a trap, but even so 10/1 odds on Jon, and Bran -450, seems like too much faith in inside sources, how's that working out for CNN? Maybe this is just the ultimate example of the betting public being flat out retarded though, can't say for sure.

Jon Snow -450 to kill Dany though, I sure hope so, but that's too steep a price.

Tyrion surviving the series is -400, Tyrion dying is +250, dog or pass on that one. Though I do think Bronn bails him out, but -400 is also steep.

Damn, only allowed to win $250, so could only put $25 on Jon Snow at +1000, oh well.

Re-listened to Wrath of the Khans this week. How much cooler would this have been if GRRM had made the Dothraki use compound bows?

From the sound of it, they would have been unbeatable. Imagine the battle vs White Walkers though...

Had a nice low stakes cash home game last night with some of my juggler mates.

Spear and shield + archers = irrelevant horse archers, compound bow or no. Of course, in GoT infantry armies fight even major battles with swords as their primary weapon, use no helmets and cavalry only use lances at tourneys.

Can you bet on whether the dragon will survive or not? If Arya or anyone kills that dragon I'll be pissed . My imagination has the final scene with Drogon suddenly lifting up swiftly into the sky and below are 1-3 eggs below in his layer. Then fade to Black.
