James Bond
Pisses me off. He's always winning in games of pure chance like Baccarat. Sample line:

'The odds favour staying put'
*raised eyebrow* 'If you play the odds'

Of course you play the odds, you dipshit. If you don't, you lose even more.

Reminds me of a story from Richard Feynman, where he met a professional gambler and said 'how can you make a living gambling? Surely in the long run the house always wins'. The guy replied 'I don't play against the house, I make side bets by finding people who are saying things like "I need a four" and I say "I'll give you 3 to 2 you don't make it". I know the odds better than them, and in the long run, I come out ahead'. Ie, find suckers who don't 'play the odds', and take them for everything they have.
