Saw this press release I thought was topical:

Sopranos: Betus.com is offering odds on who gets whacked next!

Online gambling website BetUS.com has begun offering betting odds on which Sopranos character will be whacked first in anticipation of the final season which begins April 8 in the US.

Last season, oddsmakers frenetically pulled Sopranos betting odds after Tony was shot by his own uncle in the first episode. Odds were set at ridiculously high payouts on Tony with a number of people placing the bet.

Because it is the final season, bookmakers like BetUS.com are anticipating the possibility that a major popular character could be killed off early on.

This season's favorite like seasons before is Christopher. He is listed at +200 odds, paying out $200 for every $100 bet.

Johnny Sack is next in line with +350 payout odds. This would translate into a $350 win for every $100 bet.

Not surprisingly, Uncle Junior comes in with +400 odds as does Paulie Walnuts.

Silvio is set at +700 odds. And not taking a chance, BetUS.com gives Tony Soprano shorter odds with a payout of $800 for every $100 bet.

Without knowing some of the writers of the show personally, I wouldn't bet..... Is that bad?

hahaha that's pretty cool.

Johnny, if I didn't know you better, I'd say you were a compulsive gambler ... If this was a film I'd bet on the black guy or the two college kids making out, they usually bite the dust pretty early. In the Sopranos pretty much everyone seems to be fair game, they must be running out of new buildings in jersey to bury people under...
