Obviously he was being far too greedy and not milking it.

If you really want to get into a debate... lets talk about the best James Bond movie of all time IMO...

ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE

George Lazenby is really good.
He even breaks the 4th wall making a reference to Sean Connery.
The movie is Epic and it has the real life Vegas Fixture Telly Savalas as the Bad Guy.
It also seems to go with this 60s kick that I am on!
Yes he could not control what cards were dealt - he could only make betting decisions based on the marked cards he saw, so we have to suspend belief as you say and just go with it. I was thinking exactly what you said about shearing the sheep and not torching the play as I was watching him blow out Monte Carlo.

Yes I remember On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Bond got married and his wife was shot up while they were driving. This movie was definitely a period piece. I thought it was pretty good. My favorite Bond movie would actually be a pair: The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker.

Now here I am about to write something weird. I remember Dolly (Jaws' girlfriend in Moonraker) having braces (I saw this movie in the theater when it first debuted and even got the little mini fold out poster with the full cast and promo artwork they handed out as you entered on the 1st day of the showing) - she showed them when she smiled at Jaws (the late great Richard Kiel) after the sky tram "accident". But if you watch the movie today she smiles and does not have braces. I have not heard of different versions of the film being shown so I will chalk it up to stereotypes rather than the Mandela Effect.
