Part of the shlick of being 007, the cool and sauve secret agent, is a life consisting of a mix of mystery and luxury.

As Bet365 is the best of the online betting sites in the UK, so James Bond is the be all and end all of cinema spies. His casinos scenes are legend and have become a default public perception.
