If I recall, I was bugged by the gambling scenes in Craig's Casino Royale. He had a big chunk of money, and he lost it all in a few hands. It just seemed like an amateurish approach, no strategy. Then as he's about to leave beaten, someone gives him another big chunk of money. Not recalling who this Deus ex machina person was. Probably Moneypenny giving him a whole lot of pennies. So he sits down and uses the same strategy again, but this time he finally wins, thanks to the laws of probability. I mean, if you get enough chances, you'll win eventually. So, yeah, that bothered me. And I always thought El Dingo would call bullshit on it. But he never rang in. Anyway, for a movie called Casino Royale, I was expecting some tricky, complex, high-stakes gambling. It just seemed incredibly dumbed down, and should have born a warning, Don't try this at your local casino.
Though I have to admit, it was almost made worth the while when Moneypenny pulled all those pennies out of her cleavage.
