Theory 11 007 Playing Cards - James Bond Deck - Includes Cipher Card Bag

Product Information

James Bond first appeared on our screens in the classic 1962 film Dr. No. 58 years later, 007 is still our favorite secret agent. In celebration of the twenty-fifth installment in the beloved James Bond series - No Time To Die - theory11 proudly presents James Bond 007 Playing Cards. Punto banco has both some of the lowest house edges among casino table games, and some of the highest. The player bet has, relative to most casino bets, a low house edge of 1.24%, and the banker bet (accounting for the 5% commission on the win) is even lower, at 1.06%. The victory is emblematic of the new Bond — he’s not flashy or obvious. “He wins with an inconspicuous straight flush, rather than the royal flush,” Sambrook says. Over the nearly 15 years since the movie’s release, the improbability of each player’s decision to risk everything has been debated over Reddit and by other poker players. But Sambrook, who advised Campbell on the sequencing of bets and bluffs, stands by the improbable scenario as a highly enjoyable cinematic pay-off.

Punto banco is a pure game of chance and therefore it is not possible for a gambler's bets to be rationally motivated. [6] :230 Tableau of drawing rules [ edit ] When Bond travels to Macau in Skyfall (2012), he visits the Floating Dragon Casino with Moneypenny and the chip found in Rapace’s assassin’s kit. He cashes it in – receiving a silver case full of money in exchange – meets the mysterious Severin and is confronted by Silva’s henchmen. After escaping the Komodo Dragon pit, 007 hand’s Moneypenny the case, telling her to “Put it all on red, the circle of life.” In the 2006 movie adaptation of Casino Royale, baccarat is replaced by Texas hold 'em poker, largely due to the poker boom at the time of filming.

It was difficult to think how you keep the audience engaged in those card games,” the movie’s editor Stuart Baird says. “Everybody was terribly worried that people would be bored with it.”

The cards themselves are very nice, and as mentioned the face cards are unique in that they hold weapons from James Bond films. But I couldn't shake the nagging feeling that there was a missed opportunity here. I mean, this is a licensed property, right? So they have access to the incredible, sexy, colorful world that is BOND. So many iconic images that are forever associated with the series: the Aston Martin DB5, the giant laser about to cut Bond in half, the underwater car, Jaws, the golden girl lying dead on the bed, Odd Job and his deadly derby, Blofeld with the scar across his face, the evil Dr. No... all these indelible images -- and we get the Queen of Clubs holding Jinx's knife??? It just feels like there could have been so much more... excitement. (And truthfully, it just looks like a plain old knife that the Queen is holding... I didn't know it was "Jinx's knife" until I read the promo.) Same with the Jokers and Aces, mostly featuring variations on the 007 logo. How about a Joker featuring Ian Fleming, who created the character? Poker lessons from producer Michael G. Wilson with the cast and crew helped the writers develop an end to the card game – Neal Purvis took inspiration from one of these sessions when he lost to the same hand Bond held on screen.In Thunderball (1965), Bond faces SPECTRE’s Emilio Largo at Café Martinique, Paradise Island in the Bahamas. Bond hints at knowing Largo’s allegiances and the ‘SPECTRE of defeat’ before taking his money. Despite winning, Bond bows out to buy a drink for Domino and passes control of the shoe (the card holder which is moved around the table during play). Before he began shooting Casino Royale in Prague, Campbell devoured gambling classics like The Cincinnati Kid and 5 Card Stud. He had to understand the game on a molecular level and leaned on veteran producer Michael G. Wilson, who also served as an informal poker consultant, to teach him the ins and outs.

As Campbell and his crew built and prepared their makeshift casino, a set that would give the director space to put the camera anywhere he’d like, Sambrook began training multiple actors (some for the main tournament, others for the movie’s earlier games) to transform them into legit-looking players. He set up small tables and played multiple hands, instructing throughout the process. “I would get them for 15-20 minutes in a room in a basement at Barrandov [Studios], where they’d set up a poker table,” he says. “I’d just basically tell them what the absolute bare minimum was that they needed to know to look like they had been playing this game.” James Bond plays chemin de fer at the Estoril Casino in Portugal in the 1969 movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service. He is accompanied by Tracy di Vicenzo (Diana Rigg), the woman he eventually marries. Bond wins the game and wins a large sum of money. Bond spends thirty minutes with the book to refresh skills such as the Mechanic’s Grip, Palming and Nullifying the Cut. This is not to for his own benefit, but to warn off the card cheat, Sir Hugo Drax. Whether it's his perfectly tailored suit or the impeccable timepiece clasped to his wrist, Mr. Bond commands your attention when James Bond plays Baccarat in the 1981 movie For Your Eyes Only. He is seen playing the game at the Achilleion Palace in Corfu, Greece. He is accompanied by Countess Lisl von Schlaf, a wealthy Austrian woman who is also a skilled gambler. Bond wins the game and wins a large sum of money.Wales and the scandal". The New York Times. 5 June 1891. ProQuest 94892027. Archived from the original on 30 June 2018 . Retrieved 19 July 2018.
