Since viewing Sunday night’s (June 3) episode of the Sopranos I have been on edge waiting for Betting Lines on next week’s final episode to hit the sportsbooks. I arise Tuesday morning to good news. Super sportsbook Bodog.com has posted Sopranos lines. This is where the fun begins.
Bodog.com has posted five betting props ($50 maximum) for you to chew on before making your bets prior to Sunday’s final episode. Just like you, I have my opinions and some of them are strong as to what might really happen.
Prop 1- Will Tony Soprano survive the final episode of the Sopranos?
Tony must be dead before the end of the June 10th episode for NO to be the winner.
Opinion: Yes , Tony Soprano will survive. Isn’t Sunday Fathers day? Do you for once think David Chase would kill off the “Big Guy” on Fathers day? I think Tony might get severally injured but he survives. If Tony is killed, it destroys his entire family. I don’t think the writers and producers intend on Sopranos ending on a sour note after all these years. The -150 line is a good value: Tony survives.
Prop 2- Will Paulie Walnuts survive the final episode of the Sopranos?
Paulie must be dead by the end of the Jun 10th episode for NO to be the winner.
Opinion: I am having a hard time with this prop. My first thought is No, Paulie doesn’t survive. My thinking is Paulie gets caught up in the cross fire in the war between Phil Leotardo and Tony. I will comment more on this when we discuss Silvio Dante later in my Prop 5 opinion.
Prop 3- Will Phil Leotardo survive the final episode of Sopranos?
Phil must be dead before the end of the June 10th episode for NO to be a winner.
Opinion: No , Phil Leotardo dies. Count on it; excellent value at -160.
Prop 4-If either is killed (Tony or Phil Leotardo) who will be killed first.
If both are killed the winner will be determined by whoever is killed first in the show, regardless of flashbacks or non-linear story telling.
Opinion: Phil gets killed first; end of discussion; forgetaboutit! No way do they kill off Tony Soprano…I think Phil gets killed by Tony Soprano in an episode ending showdown. Take Leotardo at -180 for the best value on the board.
Prop 5- Will Silvio Dante wake up during the final episode of the Sopranos?
Silvio must verifiably wake up before the end of the June 10th episode for yes to have action. Eyes must open or words must be spoken by Sil for yes to be graded the winner.
Opinion: Yes, I think Sil wakes up. It will be at the end but he wakes up. If they planned on killing him, the writers and producers would have not kept him alive into the final episode. After much thought, I see Tony, Sil and Paulie winning out in the end. They survive as a team and emerge from this war as the top mob family in the New York/New Jersey region.
Like you, I will be on the edge of my seat waiting for Sunday’s final episode. Good Luck.
