Winter is Coming ... and that means Game of Thrones betting odds are plentiful.

Who do the bookmakers think will sit on the Iron Throne when all is said and done? What are the odds a major character is killed off?

All that and more is covered in this complete Game of Thrones betting guide.

Comparing Odds on Who Will Rule Westeros

Who should you back to sit on the Iron Throne?

Although some might assume Jon Snow or Daenerys would be the favourite to rule Westeros at the end of the show, the favourite to sit on the Iron Throne at the end of Season 8 of Game Thrones is Bran Stark, listed at 11/10 across most bookmakers offering TV specials betting.

If you're a regular on GoT forums this might not be as big a surprise, considering the theories flying around about Bran and the Night King. Fortunately, the general confusion around who it could actually be has left plenty of value in the market.

The obvious choices, Jon and Daenerys, certainly qualify as likely candidates, yet are listed at 4/1. Tyrion, a fan-favourite, offers 10/1 odds to emerge from all the battles to sit atop the throne.

Then you have some longer shots who still have a realistic chance -- one of the Stark sisters (Sansa at 8/1, Arya at 14/1), Jamie Lannister (33/1) and even the Night King (10/1) if you think the show ends with a dark twist.

If you're looking for a safe bet still offering some value, we'd suggest backing Jon Snow or Daenerys at 4/1 each.

But if you're looking for even longer odds, we would lean toward Sansa at 8/1 since she rarely, if ever, sees battle, so her demise seems unlikely, which you can't say for Jon, who already died once, and Daenerys, who will be flying dragons into battle.

Odds on Who Will Die First this Season

The first major death of each season always draws a ton of attention, both from fans of the show and those betting on it. Some seasons it's not much of a surprise, based on how the previous season ends, while other seasons have been a bit shocking.

If you think Yara, the favourite, is first to die because she is in the most precarious situation, she's listed at 2/1. If you think Euron and Cersei's plan is going to take a major setback with Euron falling to a fellow Greyjoy, you can back him to the die first at 8/1.

Best Bets of GoT Season 8

Betting on GoT can be fun, but like any specials market, don't get distracted and make a poor bet. Make sure to search for value as opposed to just backing your favourite character. Below you'll find what we consider the best bets to make this season:

• Brienne of Tarth to Die (11/10) or Podrick Payne to Die (11/10) | The final season will feature an incredible amount of bloodshed, so it's a guarantee prominent characters are meeting their doom. We also know GoT loves to rip away a character loved by the audience (see Ned Stark and Oberyn Martell). Brienne and Podrick don't have the longest odds, but we're confident at least one of them will draw a tear from fans as they pass this season.
• Euron Greyjoy First to Die (8/1) | Euron and Cersei might have Jon and crew fooled, but that doesn't mean Theon or even Yara herself won't strike down Euron before any other prominent characters are killed. Theon is in hot pursuit, so it's logical to assume a clash is bound to happen early in the season.
