BetOnline began offering odds on House of the Dragon, the Game of Thrones prequel. The traffic to the Gambling911.com website has been modest, perhaps a result of little demand for actually betting on the series.
It certainly has nothing to do with lack of interest in the series.
The premier episode Sunday night pulled in 9.99M viewers, the best-ever for an HBO & HBO Max original series. These numbers are per Samba TV metrics.
Samba TV also reported that House of the Dragon exceeded initial same-day viewership of Netflix’s Stranger Things (1.2 million U.S. household viewers streaming in its first day).
The demand was so high for Sunday's episode that the HBO Max streaming site crashed at one point, primarily on Fire Sticks.
BetOnline has released updated odds for House of the Dragon, which are only available for a limited time. (+225 means that a $10 bet pays out $22.50).
