Harry Styles odds slashed to be the next James Bond according to latest Betway odds
Bookies have now made a big market move in the past few days with British singer Harry Styles moving into 25/1 to be the next James Bond after a flurry of bets.
Betway have slashed Harry Styles odds with the singer rumoured to sing the next Bond theme tune but it may well be that he actually plays the famous spy instead.
Spokesman for Betway Chad Yeomans said, "Recent rumours suggesting Harry Styles was favourite to sing the next James Bond theme tune have now morphed into rumours that he could also be in line to play the famous spy on screen too".
OLBG have looked at where that puts Styles in the market with his odds still having him fairly low down at 12th in the overall betting market with Aaron Taylor-Johnson leading the way.
| Next James Bond (selected odds) | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Aaron Taylor-Johnson | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| James Norton | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Henry Cavill | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Damson Idris | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Rege-Jean Page | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Tom Hardy | 9/1 | 10.0% |
| Paapa Essiedu | 11/1 | 8.3% |
| Harry Styles | 25/1 | 3.8% |
What the expert says...
Aaron Taylor-Johnson sits at the top of the betting market at 3/1
The betting market for the next James Bond seemingly changes week-by-week with Aaron Taylor-Johnson now favourite at 3/1 to play the famous role.
Reports this time last year suggested that Taylor-Johnson had recorded screen tests for the role of Bond and now he has a 25% chance of being Bond according to the odds.
The last reports from the Daily Mail around Bond said that he is the one to beat when it comes to playing the famous spy next and replacing Daniel Craig.
Further entertainment specials available around James Bond
The start of the year saw more entertainment specials offered around James Bond with bookies giving odds on the full Bond franchise heading to streaming only.
Betting odds in January suggested a 22% chance that James Bond will be streaming only going forward with the movies having a spell on Amazon Prime Video earlier this year potentially hinting at that.
Amazon Prime are releasing their own television show '007: Road to a Million' which sees competitors take on challenges for a shot of winning £1 million starring Brian Cox as The Controller.
