Some photos of "death pools," in which players try to predict who will be alive or dead at the end of the series, are circulating on social media, including one boss who challenged her employees to enter.

A user, Max, posted on Reddit saying, "My boss made a GOT prediction sheet for all the fans at work. I feel like we are filling them out like people fill out their March Madness brackets."
