Still feeling dissatisfied with how Game of Thrones ended this week? We hear you.
The conclusion of the eighth and final season of the HBO show didn’t please everyone, with plenty of dissatisfied fans still clamouring for answers, closure and, in the case on one rather hopeful petition, an entire rewrite of the season that’s just finished.
If you’re still holding out hope that the series can return in the future to right some of these supposed wrongs, then you can at least stand to monetarily benefit from it.
Boyle Sports are hoping to capitalise on this pervading GoT disgruntlement by opening a market for punters who want to believe that a ninth season can happen.
It’s currently priced at 50-1 that more episodes will be made at some point in the future – which, in the history of ludicrous betting, isn’t actually too ludicrous a price.
‘All 1.3 million (and growing) people that signed the petition would be only too delighted to see a new [season] and for a different result,’ Boyle Sports spokeswoman Sarah Kinsella said in a statement.
Put your money where your mouth is, then (albeit responsibly, please).
Although you might want to read what HBO programming boss Casey Bloys said recently about a future resurrection of GoT before placing your bets.
‘Nope, nope, nope,’ Bloys told The Hollywood Reporter about the possibility of a sequel. ‘No.’
OK, then.
‘Part of it is, I do want this show — this Game of Thrones, Dan and David’s show — to be its own thing,’ Bloys added.
‘I don’t want to take characters from this world that they did beautifully and put them off into another world with someone else creating it.’
Still… worth putting a fiver on it, right?
