‘Game of Thrones’ bettors win big at offshore betting sites

*Warning: Major spoilers ahead for Games of Thrones Season 8, Episode 6.*
“When you bet the Game of Thrones, you make a profit or you lose.”
And if you’re right, how much profit often depends on when you placed a bet.
A majority of bettors at offshore betting sites correctly picked which character would rule the Seven (or Six, rather) Kingdoms of Westeros at the end of the final episode for HBO’s hit television show Game of Thrones.
What made GoT unique was the fact that any character could die at any moment, creating a sense of tension in each episode that is often not found in television dramas.
Even before Season 8 began, it was pretty much anyone’s game. But the betting market essentially forced the bookmakers to crown a new favorite heading into the GoT’s final season.

As we now know, Bran Stark ended the series as the Ruler of Westeros — though, the Iron Throne is no more — but he’d never been the favorite at any of the offshore betting sites.
Even as late as March 2019, many offshore sportsbooks had Bran’s odds listed somewhere between +1400 and +2000, giving him around a 4-6% chance to win the Games of Thrones.
But in the weeks leading up to the start of Season 8, a popular fan theory began making the rounds on social media. The theory claimed that Bran was actually the Night King and would rule Westeros when it was all over.
Because the theory seemed plausible and was backed up by quite a bit of evidence, bettors flooded the offshore betting markets to put money on Bran, causing him to skyrocket to the top — ahead of Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, Cersei Lannister, Tyrion Lannister, and the Night King — and rightfully claimed his place as the favorite.
Heading into Season 8, Bran’s odds to rule Westeros at the end of Game of Thrones were listed between +100 (or even) to +200, which meant he know had anywhere from a 33% to 50% to be named King.
But after the Night King was killed in Episode 3, and the fan theory had been debunked, Bran was still listed as the favorite. But why?
Well, that’s when another leak surfaced, and this time, it detailed and provided evidence for not only why Bran will rule Westeros, but predicted exactly what would happen to the Clegane brothers and said that Daenerys, aka the Mad Queen, would burn King’s Landing to the ground.
Once both of those came true in Episode 5, bettors slammed their tickets on Bran, causing his betting odds to go from +200 (his worst odds) to a staggering -500 before Episode 6 aired last Sunday.
At -500, Bran now had an implied chance of 83% to rule Westeros, and by the end of the GoT series finale, we now know he had a 100% chance since he did become the ruler of Westeros when all was said and done.
If you bet money at an offshore betting site before the final episode, then you got a modest sum. Before the season began? A 2-to-1 payout.
But if you bet back in March, then congrats because even at +1400, a $100 wager netted you $1400 last Sunday.
So, what’s the lesson here?
The early bird (or Raven, if you will) gets the worm. It’s always good to be “in the know,” especially when betting on a TV show.
And at the end of GoT series, the early bettors got the best payout.

Thanksgiving Day NFL Betting Odds From Offshore Sportsbook Sites

Turkey Day is just around the corner, and this year, there are three NFL matchups you can wager on to earn a little extra stuffing.
Football has been a Thanksgiving Day tradition for many sports fans for as long as they can remember, given that the NFL first started playing games on the holiday in the 1920s. Today, the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions both always play on Thanksgiving Day.
The Cowboys started their Thanksgiving tradition in 1966, while the Lions started their tradition in 1934. Detroit is currently 37-44-2, and the Cowboys are 32-22-1 all-time on Thanksgiving Day.
Betting On 2023 Thanksgiving Day Football Games
To lay some action on the NFL Thanksgiving Day matchups, your best bet will be with offshore sportsbook sites that service the United States. While domestic sportsbooks are now located around the US, only a few states have authorized online sports betting.
Offshore sportsbooks also utilize non-traditional banking methods such as betting with Bitcoin, altcoins, and other P2P methods. Once you have created an account and made your first deposit, you can wager on any game you choose.
2023 Thanksgiving Day Odds
Below are the current odds for betting on the NFL on Thanksgiving Day. As you can see, the Lions, Cowboys, and 49ers are all favored to win their games. There are three ways to bet on each of the game lines below.
The “win” betting line is the most popular option as it chooses a winner by any margin; however, don’t sleep on the spread and totals, as they are great options for close games that can go either way.
Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions
- Spread: +7.5 (-110), -7.5 (-110)
- Win: +285, -370
- Total: O47.0 (-115), U47.0 (-105)

Time To Eat
We always suggest setting a budget and only risking what you can afford to lose, and this Thanksgiving is no different.

NFL Future Odds Still Hold Great Value After Week Six Of Regular Season

One of the most fruitful ways to bet on the NFL online is to bet with future odds early in the season.
Future odds can range from the next Super Bowl winner to divisional winners and often provide the best odds as teams have a 1/32 chance to win the Super Bowl and a 1/16 chance to win the conference. As the season starts to unfold, the odds for the best teams will creep towards zero, and the odds for the worst teams will skyrocket.
Below, we will discuss NFL future odds and show you offshore sports betting sites where you can wager on the odds provided.
Super Bowl & Conference Future Odds
The NFL Super Bowl is one of the most anticipated sporting events in the world, and with ESPN reporting that Super Bowl LVII was the most-watched telecast ever, you can see why the event has so many people placing their bets.
Each year, the NFL Super Bowl crowns the best overall team and defines them as the football champions for the season. Bettors can get in on the action by placing bets on their favorite teams, and the earlier you place your bet, the better the odds will be.
Bovada’s online sportsbook is a trusted site for USA players wanting to bet on the Super Bowl and other sporting events. Below are the current NFL futures for the 2023-24 season offered at Bovada.

Other Ways To Bet On The NFL Season
In addition to future odds, offshore sports betting sites offer game lines, props, prop builders, parlays, and other ways to bet on the NFL action. Game lines offer three sets of odds, including spread, win, and total odds, so you aren’t limited to betting on who will win the game.
Prop Builders At Offshore Sportsbooks
While many prop odds are available to bet on, some offshore gambling sites have started to provide online prop builders where you can build prop bets with the team or player of your choice.
Once a team or player is selected, you can choose the lines you wish to wager on depending on the team or position. Sportsbooks will then generate odds for the props you choose. Prop builders are also a great way to parlay bets to increase your winning potential.
