The longest running betting market on oddschecker’s platform took another twist on Thursday afternoon, as one actor was the subject of a huge spike in betting interest to become the next James Bond.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who been one of the betting favourites for the past 18 months, saw 3 times the number of bets backing him on Thursday than in the previous fortnight.
This betting interest has been linked to the new deal signed by Taylor-Johnson with Omega, the movie’s official watch company.
Bookmakers across Oddschecker have cut his odds on Thursday, with William Hill making him the 5/4 favourite from 7/1.
Back Aaron Taylor-Johnson to be the Next Bond!
He is now joint second favourite in the betting, with Theo James the 5/2 (Betfred) favourite to replace Daniel Craig in the role.
Quote from Oddschecker’s Leon Blackman: “Aaron Taylor-Johnson has seen a surge of betting interest for him on the Oddschecker platform on Thursday after news broke of his new watch deal with Omega. 67% of bets on Thursday have backed him to replace Daniel Craig as 007, and he’s taken three times the number of bets on Thursday afternoon than the previous fortnight.”
