On The Sopranos, there were few things mob boss Tony Soprano liked more than a ?fat? envelope full of cash.

betED.com is giving bettors a chance to pick up their own fat envelope with Prop Bets for the 59th Annual Emmy Awards, which will be handed out Sept. 16 in Los Angeles.

The Sopranos, which ended its six-season run on HBO earlier this year, leads all series with 15 nominations, including Best Drama, and is expected to pick up several awards.

betED.com?s Emmy Awards betting has the series favored at -200 to take the Best Drama Emmy. Other nominees include ABC?s Boston Legal, ABC?s Grey?s Anatomy, NBC?s Heroes, and Fox?s House.

James Gandolfini is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his portrayal of the moody, menacing mafia boss. Also nominated for best lead actor are James Spader as Alan Shore in ABC?s Boston Legal, Hugh Laurie as Dr. Gregory House in Fox?s House, Denis Leary as Tommy Gavin in FX?s Rescue Me, and Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer in Fox?s 24.

Nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series is Edie Falco as Carmela Soprano in The Sopranos, Sally Field as Nora Walker in ABC?s Brothers & Sisters, Kyra Sedgwick as Dep. Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson in TNT?s The Closer, Mariska Hargitay as Detective Olivia Benson in NBC?s Special Victims Unit, Patricia Arquette as Allison Dubois in NBC?s Medium, and Minnie Driver as Dahlia Malloy in FX?s The Riches.

There are 27 categories in the primetime Emmys. Of the 54 nominations for comedy and drama programs as well as lead and supporting performers, 33 were not included among last year?s nominees ? a rate of 60 per cent.

HBO leads all networks with 86 nominations.

Nominations were made by active Television Academy members who voted for programs and other peer categories of their expertise. Peer panels made up of active Academy members will screen nominations during the month of July and August and, in secret ballot, select the Primetime Emmy winners.

The Emmy Awards will be broadcast live on Fox from the Shrine Auditorium at 8:00 pm (ET/PT) on Sunday, Sept. 16.
