Although I guess this does raise the question of what would happen if I eg. bet on Julia Greenhilt, and then we get a flashback showing that she died before the start of the current book. In that case she died during the events of the comic, but we didn't realize it for a long long time. Or if eg. it turns out that one of the cast was killed and replaced with a doppleganger back in Book 1 or something.
