For many people, the only real Bond is Sean Connery (I mean Daniel Craig played 'Geordie' in 'Our Friend's in the North' for goodness sake).

Sean Connery and Lois Maxwell in Dr. No (1962) Sean Connery as James Bond and Lois Maxwell as Miss Moneypenny in Dr. Sean Connery: 1962–1967, 1971 and 1983. Sean Connery was the first actor to portray Bond in film in Dr. An amateur bodybuilder, he had come to the attention of the Bond film producers after several appearances in British films from the late 1950s. No is the first film in the James Bond film series, and thus the first to star Sean Connery as Bond. Released in 1962 in the UK, it paved the way for all future Bond films by making$16 million domestically. It introduced the first Bond girl as well as the first eccentric Bond villain.

And James Bond is always associated with luxury casino games- particularly playing baccarat and he liked the odd roulette game. There's even a 007 Bet named in his honour.
Sean Connery wasn't always the martini loving, suited and booted, globe trotting spy with a penchant for high stakes baccarat and roulette. He grew up in the working class areas of Edinburgh - he was the eldest of two brothers and worked hard at manual jobs to support the family.
Connery had a few successes at the table in the real world too. His most famous visit to the table was in 1963 at the Casino de la Vallee in Saint-Vincent, Italy, where he bet and won on the number 17 for 3 spins in a row with roulette odds of 37-to-1 and a payout of 35:1, leaving the table $27,000 up. Not bad for 3 spins.
How did he make his bets?
A single bet on the number 17. It didn't come in. He repeated the bet- he lost again. So he bet on the same number again (persistent, aren't you Mr Bond?). This time, it came in, and he let his bet ride. It hit again. He let the money stay on the table for another spin, and the number came in again.

Three times in a row on the number seventeen. Now that is lucky. (The odds? 1:50653). Connery scooped up hi winnings which came to around seventeen million lire which was more than £10,000 at the time (over £160,000 in today’s money).
So 17 was his favourite number (interestingly, Mike Ashley also has has some luck playig this number). Sean Connery hit it again in 1971, but this time he was playing James Bond in Diamonds Are Forever.

It was on the set of the first James Bond film, Dr No, that Connery got his first taste of playing with high rollers: producers Harry Saltzman and Albert Broccoli. You know, the classic starring Ursula Andress wearing THAT bikini (pretty racy in 1962.)
They were famous for their big betting style in 1962, frequenting a casino on Curzon Street in London- the famous and exclusive Crockfords. It can't have been easy for the aspiring young actor to keep up whith these high rollers, but I am sure he just took it in his stride.
