Game Of Thrones Season 7 Death Odds
Game of Thrones Death Pool Odds. The odds below are each character’s chances of being offed in Season 7. After six seasons of killing characters seemingly at random, it’s hard to make anyone’s odds terribly long. But I’ve separated the characters into tiers, starting with the most likely to die and ending with the least likely. The seventh and penultimate season of the fantasy drama television series Game of Thrones premiered on HBO on July 16, 2017, and concluded on August 27, 2017. Unlike previous seasons, which consisted of ten episodes each, the seventh season consisted of only seven episodes. Like the previous season, it largely consisted of original content not found in George R. Martin's A Song of Ice.

Spoiler alert: This article contains plot points leading into season eight of “Game of Thones.”
So if you haven’t finished season seven, you probably want to scram.
Last chance …
The final season of “Game of Thrones” will bring the wrath of the undead, who are sure to kill countless important characters. Even if those characters prevail over The Night King and his undead army, their armies of the living will proceed to kill each other.
So after a few seasons of protecting their most important characters — and even bringing Jon Snow back to life — it may be the beginning of the end for a handful of the most pivotal characters in the series. With that thought in mind, let’s run through some of the show’s essential characters in order of how likely they are to die, from least-likely to most-likely.
30. Samwell Tarly: He may get involved in the fighting during The Battle of Winterfell, but it’s tough to imagine him dying when he’s probably the fictional scribe for “A Song of Fire and Ice.”
29. Lord Varys: His anthem is Destiny’s Child’s “Survivor.” Varys didn’t make it this far to get picked off at the end.
28. Hot Pie: He’s probably going to cook hot pies until he dies of old age.
27. Missandei: In theory, you’re never safe if you’re always hanging out with Daenerys Targaryen, especially with Cersei devising some sort of assassination attempt for the coming season. But Missandei should be at a distance from the fighting or in the company of dragons.
26. Sansa Stark: She’s alive after spending time in King’s Landing under the thumb of Cersei Lannister, in The Vale under Petyr Baelish and in Winterfell under Ramsay Bolton-Snow. She can handle a few skeletons with swords.
25. Ser Davos Seaworth: Blackwater bay is the only time we’ve really seen Davos get into the fighting. He’s a military adviser who seems to keep away from the actual military action. He’s also been on the losing side of multiple wars, and yet has come out alive.
24. Drogon: One of the dragons already died. I can’t see another one going down, especially not her favorite.
23. Rhaegal: Rhaegal will presumably be Jon Snow’s dragon. How likely is Jon’s death? Rhaegal might go with Jon.
22. Bronn: A one-name character, like Neymar, Bronn has proven to be one of the best three swordsmen and swordswomen in the world. He’s up there with The Hound and Brienne of Tarth.
21. Podrick Payne: He’s lovable but expendable. Call it a hunch, but Pod seems as likely as anyone to die in this final season. He’s not a gifted fighter, and he’s just important enough that his death would hurt.
20. Tyrion Lannister: He fought in The Battle of the Green Fork and was lucky to get knocked on unconscious before he made it to the battlefield. He fought in the Battle of Blackwater Bay and was lucky to leave with a massive scar across his face. He must know that he should stay off the battlefield. The strategist, world-traveler and escape-artist will probably find a way to survive. But then again, he was dumb enough to throw himself into battle before. Maybe he’ll do it again.
19. Gendry (Baratheon): He’s important, so killing him would be sad but not exactly consequential. (It would be even more sad if he and Arya start a fling in this season.)
18. Tormund Giantsbane: He might be the most underrated fighter in Westeros. Wildlings get no respect. Still, he’s the kind of fighter that prefers to be in the heart of the battle, which could result in a spear through the heart. That said, he’s not a high profile character — no one but the White Walkers want him dead.

17. Brandon Stark/Three-Eyed Raven: You could argue that Bran is kind of already dead, which is why I’ll include his title as the Three-Eyed Raven. He’s the Being-John-Malkovich puppet master of every man, woman, child and animal in Westeros. But The Night King is gunning for him.

16. Theon Greyjoy: He somehow escapes every situation with his life (even if he lost his penis). He’s bound to find the end of a sword, right?
15. Greyworm: He’s likely to be in the thick of any fighting. He’ll be in the mix when Dany’s company fights the White Walkers. Then if the living beat the dead, they’ll be left to fight amongst themselves. And Greywork should also be on the battlefield for that, too. Even if Greyworm makes it through the battles, if Dany dies, he will, too.
14. Everyone dies and the Night King wins: Much of this list is based off the assumption that the living prevail. So we’ll toss out this conditional scenario. Rather than the death of one character, this would be a full-on zombie apocalypse where The Night King takes over Westeros until the end of Winter.
13. Jon Snow: It’s “A Song of Fire and Ice,” so it’s got to be about Jon, right? He’s the fire (Targaryen) and the ice (Stark). The question is whether he’ll live to see the end of the story. I’ll bet he does. But if they killed Jon’s uncle in Eddard Stark, then they could definitely kill Jon.
12. Daenerys Targaryen: Because I believe the story is about Jon — and because I think he’ll see this thing to the end — I have Dany’s chances being slightly worse than Jon’s. But they are such important characters, and important characters are definitely going to die this season, with some of them probably coming as a big surprise. Dany could be that surprise.
11. Arya Stark: As nimble and magical as she has become, she’s still small. Her magic has made her a deadly assassin when she can plan out her kills. When she’s surrounded by wights in the crypts of Winterfell, will she be able to fight her way out?
10. Jamie Lannister: He’s going to kill Cersei, right? He just has to live long enough to kill Cersei. The problem is that he’s not a gifted fighter with his left hand, and won’t be particularly capable of defending himself when he inevitably spurns Cersei and tries to join the good guys (Jon and Dany). With no one looking after him, can Jamie take care of himself? Will Brienne?

9. Beric Dondarrion: This dude has got to go. He’s a good fighter, but he’s died countless times (while getting reborn thanks to the Lord of Light). While the living might need to draw upon the Lord of Light in order to beat the undead, Dondarrion seems like a likely casualty somewhere along the way, maybe after saving Jon’s life on the battlefield and fulfilling his destiny.
8. Brienne of Tarth: Probably the most gifted person with a longsword in all of the “Game of Thrones” universe, Brienne won’t be an easy character to kill. But would she die to save Jamie Lannister? For sure. Would she die to complete her duty? No doubt. She cares too much about duty and honor. Those kinds of people die in this show.
7. The Hound: Just like Brienne, Sandor Clegane is a hard person to kill. And yet, his character has undergone a tremendous transformation over the course of this series. He would probably die for the right cause — especially after he’s killed his brother, Gregor Clegane.
6. Euron Greyjoy: He’s running out of allies. Hatable characters tend to live for a long time in “Game of Thrones.” But Euron will likely find that he’s bet on the wrong crown-seeking horse in Cersei. Dany or Jon will come for the treacherous Euron.
5. Jorah Mormont: Sam figured out how to keep the greyscale at bay. But this dude is definitely dying so that Dany can live.
4. Lady Melisandre: Behold her beauty. (No, that’s not The Night King pictured above.) Maybe this is my bias coming into play, but here’s hoping we see the end of Melisandre, who is — by my estimation — 10,834,063 years old. It’s her time. Maybe Davos can sneak a blade into her back at some point.
3. FrankenMountain: Whether his death comes at the hand of The Hound during Cleganebowl or a White Walker at the Battle of Winterfell, this undead behemoth is doubtlessly going down in season eight.
2. The Night King: This series has shown time and time again that evil can prevail over good. But this also isn’t a story about a Zombie takeover, right? Someone, probably Jon, is going to kill The Night King.
1. Cersei Lannister: The most gifted survivor and manipulator has overcome the most challenging circumstances. She’s Bill Belichick — or the New England Patriots. With a target on her back while playing a game that’s designed upon creating a new winner every year, she keeps winning. She seems to never stop winning. But the dynasty is coming to an end.
With just one episode of Game of Thrones left in the show’s eighth and final season, fans are making their final predictions on who lives, who dies and who will sit on the Seven Kingdoms’ hotly contested Iron Throne — and they’re putting their money down quite literally. (Let’s hope it’s a better investment than Cersei’s decision to shell out for the Golden Company.)
Paddy Power, an online betting site in the U.K., calculated the updated odds on a future ruler — or rulers! — of Westeros and survival rates for the rest of the Thrones cast following the penultimate episode. Things have certainly changed for Daenerys Targaryen, Mother of Dragons, following her fiery rampage at King’s Landing: she’s now by far the favorite to die according to popular opinion on Paddy Power, with 1/4 odds for her death, which comes to about 80%.
Of the other still-living fan favorites, Jon Snow has 5/4 odds to die, 4/7 to live; Tyrion Lannister is 6/4 to die, 1/2 to live; and Arya Stark is 5/2 to die, 1/4 to live, making her survival exactly opposite of Dany’s projected death.
As for the final ruler of the Seven Kingdoms? Paddy Power players seem to think Bran Stark will take the crown, with 5/4 odds. He’s followed by his sister Sansa Stark at 5/2 odds, Jon Snow at 4/1, Arya Stark at 6/1 and no one at all with 8/1 odds. (At the very bottom of the list, with 400/1 odds, is good old Hot Pie.)
The final episode of Game of Thrones airs on HBO at 9 p.m. on May 19, at which point we’ll know which bets were dead on, and which were just dead. Because after all, when you play the game of thrones, you win or you die.
