Most of the action in “Game of Thrones” occurs in Westeros, but there is other action IRL. Or I-online-L.
The fine folks at sportsbettingexperts.com have the odds on more than just sports and 25-year veteran odds maker and sportsbook consultant Jim Murphy has been doing the odds for “Game of Thrones” like “GoT” death and dismemberment or who will be the ruler of the seven kingdoms.

Basically, for Americans placing their bets, a negative number (the “favorite”) represents how much you have to bet to profit $100. A positive number represents how much you profit if you bet $100.
