And, of course, you can bet on it. Several online gambling sites are taking bets on whether in the show's finale Tony Soprano will survive his gangland war with Phil Leotardo's New York family. There's also action on the fate of consigliere Silvio Dante, who was critically wounded last week; and on Paulie Walnuts, he of the silver-winged main. At sites like bodog.com and Bettors.com, which has $50 limits on "Soprano" bets, you can wager on who will survive longer, if at all - Tony or Phil?</s>JOHN YDSTIE, host: According to The Washington Post, Bettors odds makers favored Tony but, says Bettors, if both are killed, the winner will be determined by who ever is killed first in the show, regardless of flash backs or nonlinear storytelling.
