There has been a huge move in the betting markets on which actor could replace Daniel Craig in the role of James Bond in the movie franchise. Step forward none other than Irish Actor Aidan Turner, best known for his role as Poldark in the TV series.
Whilst Aidan has not really figured in the rumours in the Next James Bond betting, hovering around the odds of 20/1, there has suddenly been a tidal wave of support and his odds have crashed into 5/1 with some betting sites where he now joins the likes of long time favourites Tom Hardy and Rege Jean Page
Betting odds change when bets are made, and for odds to shift from 20/1 into 5/1 would signify some good money coming for his chance and some bets of significant size.
