I was lost, now im found
Tryna keep my head afloat
Pray to god i dont drown
If you aint talkin money
Close ya mouth dont make a sound
They used to talk down

For those wondering what they're playing, it's a version of Baccarat called 'Chemin De Fer' (the French word for "railway" as it is a quicker style of Baccarat). This version of Baccarat was the "in-vogue" version preferred by British royalty and high society in the early/mid 20th century, and therefore Ian Flemming and James Bond.
The game is a distant cousin to blackjack, except in Chermin De Fer the "best" total to get is a 9, not 21. All face cards (jack, queen, king, and 10s) have a value of zero, and aces are worth 1. 9 is the highest hand, and if your total goes beyond 9, (ie, you have a 5 and a 7) your score is the last digit of your hand. So 5+7 = 12, therefore, you go back to only having a score of 2.
After each player is dealt their 2 cards, each inspects their hand. If either player has an 8 (2nd highest score) or a 9 (highest score) each must announce their hand and the game is over, with the highest winning. You hear the table manager (the croupier) calling "huit a la banque" (8 to the Bank) and "neuf a la banque" (9 to the Bank) when Bond turns over these hands.
If neither player has an 8 or a 9, each may "hit" for a third card. Taking the previous example of having a 5+7 (2), you would certainly hit. If you receive a 7 (5+7+7) you now have 9 (19) and a very strong hand.
James Bond is playing the role of the "banker" (banque) and his stake and hand is competing against everyone else at the table, with Ms Trench playing that of the "common hand" (punto), that is, she is playing on behalf of everyone else at the table. Normally, Chermin De Fer has multiple players at the table pooling their funds collectively to compete against the bank's stake. In this scene, however, Ms Trench continues to match the bank's full stake herself and competes individually against it.
When Ms Trench loses to Bond she calls "Suivre" which is French for "to follow". This allows her to keep leading the table as the "punto" against the Bank by increasing her stake for the next hand. Without calling Suivre the role Ms Trench is playing would pass to her left, or to whomever can stake the next highest amount against the Bank. You in fact hear the player to her left (our right) @0:42 call to take over as "punto" when Ms Trench loses, only for her to call Suivre and maintain the seat (and non-verbally apologise to the gentleman for calling Suivre over the top of him)
If Ms Trench wins, the bank's wager is apportioned to the rest of the table (and the house). Should the bank be unable to continue staking, the shoe moves to the next player willing to play as the bank.
For those further wondering, each pink betting tab is £100 which would be equivalent to £2,000 in 2021 (aprox. $2750 USD). Each time they play they're staking £200 which is about $5,000 USD each hand. So yes, they're rolling deep!
I hope that explains the game for those interested.

Are you saved friend? If you died tonight will you go to heaven or hell? God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh to take away the sin of the world. He gave up his own life to save yours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for your redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him.
This is the Gospel which means the Good News.
Isaiah 45:22-23 KJV
Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. [23] I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
John 1:1-3,14 KJV
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] The same was in the beginning with God. [3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. [14] And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,
Isaiah 44:6 KJV
Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
Revelation 1:17-18 KJV
And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: [18] I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
John 20:27-29 KJV
Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. [28] And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. [29] Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

This was the single one scene they had to get absolutely right, where they had to make the audience understand exactly the kind of character Bond is, and they nailed it.

And apparently it was a coincidence as well, it was meant to be a jokey scene with bond mocking Trench but Connery played it in such a way that it became iconic
@liamfitzgerald7217
@@spacepenguins8939 It's even more brilliant when you find out that he was very nervous too during the whole scene. He knew he had to get it 100% right.
@anaussie213
@@liamfitzgerald7217 it's perfect for the character, remaining cool in a stressful/nerve wracking situation is what Bond is all about. Bond is meant to be nervous deep down (as who wouldn't be) but supremely capable of appearing unflappable. If he just never cared or wasn't nervous he'd seem like an idiot.
