New James Bond Betting Odds - Today’s Feckless Agents

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

This is probably going to be the week when Sony and Eon pull their thumbs out of their giant behinds and tell the world who the new James Bond will be. Ooh, exciting. 

Let’s face it - they’ve been looking for a new James Bond for over a year, and the hype surrounding the announcement has got so knicker-wettingly huge, that it’s bound to be a massive anti-climax whoever they pick. Unless they pick a giant lizard in a silver shell-suit and a monocle, of course. But that’s not going to happen. We think.

So how can you people make the announcement more exciting? By betting on it, of course. The betting odds of the four favourites to become 007 are shrinking all the time, so potential betters should get on the bus right now.

On the other hand, if you’re feeling more adventurous there are several outsiders just waiting to make betters very rich indeed. Here’s today’s batch of possible Bond contenders, with a bit of help from Betfair.com…

Paul Blackthorne - What’s this? A late entry? And with odds as good
as ‘officially shortlisted’ Sam Worthington, too? We’d quite like Paul
Blackthorne to become Bond, purely because of his explosive career trajectory.
From appearing in godawful tripe like Peak Practise and Holby City to
starring in the mighty third season of 24, it seems the only way is up
for Blackthorne. But why all the sudden betting on him? We’re
intrigued. Current odds - 20/1

Jude Law - The unthinking cretin’s choice to play Bond. Jude Law is
regularly named as a 007 contender by people who can generally only
name three English people. We’ll admit that Jude does share James
Bond’s chronic inability to keep it in his pants, but give him a gun
and tell him to go and defeat a master criminal, and he’d probably
burst into tears. Current odds - 24/1

James Nesbitt - AKA that annoying git off the Yellow Pages advert.
But Nesbitt, when he’s not amusingly being afraid of dogs in order to
sell business directories, has a dark side as a serious actor. As well
as being pretty good in Bloody Sunday, he’s also turning into Woody
Allen’s darling, having had roles in Match Point and the Untitled Woody
Allen Fall Project 2006. But Bond? Probably not. Current odds - 37/1

Sienna Miller - OK, we’re aware that she’s become infinitely more
famous after Jude dicked the nanny. We’re also aware that she’s been
offered pretty much every film role since that time. But, even ignoring
the gender issue, Sienna would suck ass as James Bond. Imagine her,
walking around with scratches all over her arms, crying all the time
and being spuriously . Actually, it’s just occurred to us that
we’ve never heard Sienna Miller speak. Maybe she has a man’s voice.
Current odds - 59/1
