Next Bond bet

EDIT: (Quess the reason is that the bet is about the Bond AFTER Daniel Craig :happyshy: Just noticed it.)


Just wondering why the bet I placed for the next Bond nominee is still pending, even when the actor was confirmed a long time ago? Is it because the actor Daniel Craig was announced and confirmed on twitter and online magazines long before (somewhere around the May-June) the bet was taken off from the entertainment-bets list?
To my shame, have to admit that I made a mistake of reading The Suns article about it after waking up and -after checking the odds- placed the bet for Idris Elba without further investigations :laugh: (10.08!)

Anyway, no exessive bitterness here, stupid move from me. Just wanted to know why is it still not settled, and to show there seems to be a ton of value at entertainment bets, due to the fact sportsbook may let people make a bet after there is already plenty of info about the winner 😏

@RayLAlso wanted to ask can the bet be removed? Think I can find some another bets before 2020 :Cheeky:

@JeppeL, If you're back in business after summer, could you send forward this one too to be reviewed? Since it was pulled off from the UB's lists, I know it's most likely a lost bet, and not begging for mercy or anything, but would just like to know can it be deleted so I can place it into some other game?

I mean c'mon, next Bond will be selected perhaps next summer or at the end of 2019 😞
Ain't nobody got the time for waiting that long with these odds and small chips invested :laugh:.

Lol :laugh: Jasper is busy playing redneck in a Spike Lee's production :laugh::laugh:
He's not available to derail the idea of next black Bond 😏

Edit. Yea the bet is long gone from the list, trust me i 've watched it's existence ever since i placed the bet. Think someone added that without thorough checking, and it was removed because of damage control.
Dunno, waiting for answer 😏

Received an answer @Rushbie :"Please note that this bet does not refer to "Who will be James Bond in the next movie" but rather "Who will be next James Bond after Daniel Craig, thus, outcome is still to be determined." Looks we'll have to wait a bit for the outcome. I've sent your translation error for fixing as well by the way.
As a sidenote, I think Joel Kinnaman would make an awesome James Bond.

:laugh: Yeah right :laugh: bit too much Dolph Lundgren -type of actor physically imo.. 😏

But alright, the bet is alive as long as Daniel Graig is not the Bond anymore, cool. We'll wait for the days when it happens. Now when the director walked away with the screenwriter, hoping it will happen before 2021 :speechless::scared:

Thanks for checking it out, @RayLBeers on me when that day comes..👍

Almost got the reasonings right! Goddamn should've gone with full throttle and go for the whole jackpot :Wow:
Wonder is it finally time to give the rest for the old and tired bet, and put it to the proper place somewhere in the history far far away where it no longer can haunt in the ongoing bets-list? @RayL 
Or is it really necessary to be there and keep pissing me off every time I open the damn list all the way to year 2020?
Whatta plottwist :Speechless:

After 3 years, maybe this time it'll be a thingg.

For the bet to be voided. 

Algorithsms are in a better protection than "last Bond".

Good thing that times have changed here on forum and noone can delete and ban ppl for saying things like black woman, black whatewer, yeah. Things were bad 2 years ago.

Now my Bond, it'll be glorious black Bond! The most incredible one.The popculture one..*sigh*

After almost falling asleep watching the last Bond movie with Christoph Waltz, I doubt I would even DVR another one even if it re-runs in the middle of the night on free TV without commercials. So while you boomers are waiting on the next Bond to be announced, here is something to cheer you up:

We're gonna win on so many levels! We're gonna win, win, win. You're gonna get so tired of winning, you're gonna say: "Mr. President please, we don't wanna win anymore, it's too much!" And I'm gonna say: "I'm sorry, we're gonna keep winning because we're gonna make America great again!"

Even if Bond movies in the past had big revenues there are numerous reports that Broccoli business is one flop away from the end. There were many badass woman flops and maybe one or two successes [i think first Wonder Woman made some money followed by bottom 250 sequel 🤣]. I could name at least 20 of them. The only one slightly believable and good was one with Gina Carano and it didnt bring money either. I dont see how can it work, maybe if she will be battling alien invaders with Iron Man cameo 🤣 We will have another Giorgio Lazenby brief appearance and if franchise will not die return to white male, not necessarily hetero. My bet first bet Hiddleston then Cavill. 

the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist

I dont mind this exaggerated womens right movement bs, there are many good movies w female heroes, and not just the obvious WW or Captain Marvel. From the last few years we have Atomic Blonde w Charlize Theron (and the iconic german hits from the 80s like neunundneunzig luftballons 😅), we have Anna w a russian beauty and Red Sparrow w Jennifer Lawrence (who took 1/4 of the budget as one of the highest paid female nowadays, but they still made profit at the box office). They are all ok to good spy movies. Add on the tricks, cars and atmosphere of Bond movies, and a beautiful tough woman could be the necessary spark for the franchise. 

Having said that i want Tom Hardy (or Tom Hiddleston) 😂

Trusting more to CD's views lol 😎

Not gonna watch that Bond for any time soon. 

Just to maintain a decent taste in mouth and mind. Goes pretty much with all kinds of sequels and soured, twisted moviemodifications from past recently fk 🤪🤗🤬🤮

4 years is a long time. 4 years ago i was still considered a young man, according to some global definitions before breaching the limits of middle age era.
I don't know has my possibly beginning dementia starting to show signs already, but completely forgot to arrange and celebrate the birthday of this bet in august 😪
Anyway I'm sure by now most have seen the movie already and can put something in the spoilers, so now when it's quite clear that
 

Spoiler

Bond is overkill superdead and got his ass honorably airstriked all over the sea, despite the returning note after the ending credits

it will take even more time to even create a new, modern version of the character that pleases the woke audience. Good chances it's not even a 007 anymore.

What- and whoever it is, doesn't matter. Think it's about time to void this bet, because couple years more and the bet would be old enough to start elementary school and write the complaint by itself.
Besides the ridiculous waiting time, I'm also worried about the legal things when passing on the bet to my possible grandchilden after my time on earth has ended with slightly less fireworks and drama. That is reality afterall.

So @Jami-Unibet, could you send the request forward?

Edit. Oh, and I'm also claiming the 1st place position for having the longest active bet on Unibet
😛
Edit.2. Happy 4yo birthday, Bet!!! 🥳 It's been emotional ride

Last month there was a big, birthday-party to my baby bet turning into the age of majestic 5 years old!.. Gosh they grow old so fast 🥲.
Unfortunately it was already a bit too overtimed, and started to suffer from it, so had to try and take it to the last walk to the doctors of gambling. To no avail.

Support was kind and professional, and to my positive surprise, managed to get an answer for its fate in just about three hours. Good job 👍
It's just that the pain of seeing the bet floating in the eternal Limbo, that gets me slightly sad at times. Not always, but knowing it will never end, is no honorable end to any bet. 😞

Anyway, as an update, here's what the reply was how it's being dealt.

Seems the Bond is fighting against right-wingers in the coming one, so got my doubts this bet never gets solved. A perfect ending to topic, that has had multiple peoples posts deleted because they laughed at the next potential Bond being a black woman some years ago. Which it then was.
If James is joining the war against reality, so be it. I don't really care anymore.
