New James Bond Betting Odds - More Contenders

***NEW JAMES BOND BETTING ODDS! CLICK HERE***

Nobody knows who’s going to be the new James Bond. And if they do, they’re doing a good job of acting like a bunch of clueless goons.

So until a new James Bond is announced, we’re going to be looking at the betting odds of more 007 contenders.

Since yesterday, the odds have thankfully got realistic - there are actually sensible favourites now - so now’s the time to act. Here’s today’s batch of new James Bond contenders, with a bit of help of Betfair.com…

Stuart Townsend - Stuart’s only been in a handful of films, and they
veer wildly between the good (Wonderland) and the shockingly cack (The
League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen). Although he’s the closer to the
right age for the new, younger Bond, he hasn’t proved that he could
handle such a big role yet. But that hasn’t stopped his odds from being
shorter than the more established actors in the frame. Current odds - 25/8

Ewan McGregor - Lots of people, including Roger Moore, want to see
Ewan McGregor as the new James Bond. We’re not among them; Ewan is best
when he’s starring in smaller films, as proved by his toe-curling turns
in the Star Wars Trilogy and The Island. And he couldn’t do a decent
accent to save his flipping life. Luckily, the producers of the Bond
films agree with us. Plus they think he’s far too short. Current odds - 16/5

Christian Bale - There was a time when we’d have put Christian Bale
at the top of any list of potential 007s. But not now. We still think
he’d be a fantastic Bond, but you can’t be Bond and Batman at the same
time - that’s, like, against the law or something. If he got the job,
it’d also put an end to the eternal 3am conversation - who’d win in a
fight, James Bond or Batman? Current odds -16/5

Stan Collymore - As weird as this sounds, Stan actually shares a lot
of the same qualities as James Bond: an, ahem, old fashioned approach
to women and a fondness for cars. But where Bond does death-defying
stunts in his vehicles, Stan takes his along to car parks and watches
strangers have sex.  He will soon be starring in a film, however - Basic
Instinct 2, where he has sex with Sharon Stone then dies in the first
five minutes. Current odds - 16/5

Kevin Spacey - There is no other human being on the planet that
screams Bond Villain as much as Kevin Spacey. Bond Villain, but not
Bond. Current odds - 16/5

Unless a sudden announcement is made about the new James Bond, we’ll have more odds next week, but if you want to
