Game of Thrones Gambling Odds: Wager on Who Will Win the Iron Throne!


Now that most of the storylines in Game of Thrones have progressed beyond the point that George R.R. Martin has reached in his ongoing A Song of Ice and Fire series of novels, all bets are off in terms of what might happen next.


Of course, that"s just a figure of speech. What we really mean to say is – it"s time for the betting to begin!


You see, up until now, showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss were working from some very popular source material, which meant lots of people had a good idea of where the plot was headed.


Sure, there were some digressions here and there, but for the most part, the show remained true to the broad strokes of Martin"s novels.


These days we"re in spoiler-free territory, and not even those smug book-readers know what"ll happen next. 


Though Season 6 has just begun, we"ve already seen one major twist, and you can be sure there will be more to come.


Like those intimidating fellas who run the Iron Bank of Braavos, Vegas oddsmakers never pass up an opportunity to make a buck, so naturally, they"re now taking bets on the likelihood that several major characters will win "the great game" and sit atop the Iron Throne.


Check out the odds in the gallery below, and whatever you do, don"t sleep on Hodor – people like a politician of few words:




1. Jon Snow: 5/2

The odds favor the bastard son of Ned Stark (or, if you believe certain theories, Rhaegar Targaryen). It may seem unlikely for a dead man to become king, but hey, who would’ve guessed that Donald Trump would have a real shot at being president? Anything can happen, folks!



2. Daenerys Targaryen: 3/1

Obviously, the Khaleesi has a good chance of being the first female on the Iron Throne. It’s a fairly safe soon have one more title to add to her incredibly long list.



3. Tyrion Lannister: 7/1

Tyrion is like the Bernie Sanders of this race. He’s a long shot, but a lot of people really, really like him, and sometimes that’s all it takes.



4. Petyr Baelish: 15/2


Aiden gillen as littlefinger

Never underestimate Littlefinger! The man might be the smoothest talker in Westeros.



5. Bran or Rickon Stark: 16/1

Bran, maybe. Rickon, not so much. Has anyone even seen that kid lately?!



6. Margaery Tyrell: 18/1

She may have married two kings, but we still have a hard time picturing Margaery on the Iron Throne.

Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner Make $1 Million Wager

It looks like we"re gonna need to go in and make an addition to our list of First World Problems Plaguing Those Very Poor Kardashians.


Those who tune in to watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online or on their television this Sunday will see Kris Jenner engage in an argument with Kim Kardashian that leaves us wondering once again:


HOW CAN ANYONE BE FANS OF THESE PEOPLE?!?


In a sneak peek at the latest installment of this E! reality series, Kardashian accuses her mother of taking some very special marble from her.


"When we moved in with my mom the first time, we bought a whole ton of marble – all these slabs from out of the country, and she took my marble, has never mentioned it, has never paid for it, and now I have to figure out a new plan," Kardashian complains.


Yes, this is a fight about ridiculously expensive marble and even more expensive mansions in general.


Jenner, who reportedly wants Kim and Kanye West to get the heck out of her house, responds that she only took six slabs of marble, not the 10 slabs of marble Kim claims and…


… we"re sorry. We just can"t.


This is just to pathetic and disgusting.


In the end, mother and daughter make a $ 1 MILLION bet regarding how much marble Kris actually took from Kim"s order and we think we"re gonna be sick.


Just watch for yourself.
