Bookies give odds on viewing figures for House of the Dragon with figures dropping since episode 1
House of the Dragon, the Game of Thrones spin off series, goes into it's 5th episode this weekend and bookies are giving odds on viewing figures for the show.
The opening episode of House of the Dragon had 2.17m viewers on US TV but the 4th episode in the series dropped to 1.81m on cable.
