As far as I know, 'probably' and other adverbs are usually somewhere in the middle of a sentence, I guess Americans prefer to place it before the verb while Brits tend to place it after the verb, but can 'probably' also be placed at the beginning of a sentence?
For example:
Probably, he will die.
Probably, she is not the nice girl she pretends to be.
Probably, Robert De Niro is the best actor of all times.
Are you going to Italy for vacation? - Probably not. I'm more likely to go to France.
Maybe not in written English but at least in spoken English, I think I already have heard it from time to time.
