Paddy Power has the Bond girl covered if not the man himself

Paddy Power as usual is ahead of the game by launching their novelty bet on who is going to be the next Bond Girl. Never to miss a possible betting market opportunity they are currently taking bets on Frieda Pinto being named with odds of 3/1. Freida made her name in the Academy Award winning Slumdog Millionaire and would of course make a suitably exotic Bond girl. A more down to earth choice is Jennifer Aniston, Paddy Power currently are offering odds of 4/1 on Jennifer being named as the next Bond beauty.

With Paddy Power one of the most enjoyable aspects of looking at their novelty bets market is their chosen rank outsiders, and in this case we think it hilarious that Paddy Power have even mentioned the following two candidates as possible selections for the Next Bond Girl betting market. Paddy Power have at 500/1 and the biggest outside, Kerry Katona then at 250/1 the talented yet mildly disturbing Amy Winehouse. Paddy Power have clearly missed a golden opportunity to add another unlikely name to that list, that of Paris Hilton! Slightly more likely betting choices at Paddy Power are Keira Knightley with odds of 8/1 and Scarlett Johansson at 12/1.

News has reached us here at the Betting Hideout that Daniel Craig has quit the role of James Bond in a fit of pique. Our source has said that EON Productions has confirmed that Daniel Craig has quit although there has yet to be any official announcement. It would therefore seem an oversight on Paddy Power’s part not to include the ‘who is going to be the next James Bond’ to their novelty bets. Four our money the most likely candidate is Clive Owe, as we believe he has Bond written all over him.
