The “Game of Thrones” character who will rule Westeros at the end of the series finale on Sunday didn’t fend off the army of the dead with a sword in Winterfell. Nor did they lead the charge through the gates of King’s Landing during the scorching butchery of the last episode.

Instead, the ruler will be: Bran Stark. Or maybe his sister Sansa. Or even Tyrion Lannister or Gendry. Sorry, Jon Snow. Notwithstanding your true lineage and moral courage, your odds of winding up on the Iron Throne are just not that good.

No, that’s not a spoiler. It’s the collective conjecture of fans who are wagering on who will come out on top when the blockbuster HBO series comes to an end after an eight-season run.

While experts say they do not know of any strictly legal means to bet on “Game of Thrones” in the United States, there has been plenty of offshore and European wagering that suggests what fans and bettors — including some who claim to have inside information — believe will happen this Sunday.
