In the novel Casino Royale, which incidentally is the first James bond novel, Bond played Baccarat with Le Chiffre.Its similar to Lucky Nine or blackjack. Needless to say, Bond won the game with a nine of diamonds and two queens against Le Chiffre,s eight. At the beginning of the novel however, Bond was described as having played progressive games of Roulette and Chemin de fer, a card game equivalent to our lucky nine.This was to give his nerves a good workout before his vital encounter with Le Chiffre.

The Sean Connerly ones, he was/is/always will be my favorite bond followed by Roger Moore, the others just don't really pull it off. I guess my favorite movie was Octopussy, it had great stunts, and just really pushed the limit on what they could get away with saying.
