Sites Take Bets on Tony's Life

Entertainment gamblers wager on whether capo will be sleeping with the fishes

Share

(Newser) – Think Tony will survive Sunday's season finale of "The Sopranos"? Will Paulie "Walnuts" Gualtieri get whacked? Now you can put your money where your mozzarella is at gambling websites like Bodog.com and Betus.com. But be forewarned—an HBO spokesman says exec David Chase's acclaimed plots "defy all theories of probability."

With the series winding down after seven seasons, major characters are getting rubbed out left and right— but so far the odds are in favor of HBO's famous capo living. Entertainment gambling on the net is also taking bets on Rosie's replacement on "The View" and which campaign song Hillary will choose.
