Trader bets against James Bond candidates
by Tufail: Callum Turner
A trader who has pulled over $2,000,000 in prediction market earnings is skeptical that Callum Turner will become the next James Bond. Even though he is a favorite, his price sits around 75 cents on some rumors or whatever. The speaker notes that favorites for the role change monthly, so you can find cheap shares when enthusiasm shifts. Basically I'm betting on none of the current people for the part. The trader suggests producers may select an unknown actor to play James Bond. They think they might pluck someone a little bit from obscurity to try and be the James Bond. I don't know if that's going to be right but that is the position.
