I don't know how it sounds like, but I'm guessing it's something along the lines of "probely"

Probably or probally but never prolly. Only seen that used few times online.

I think I talk a bit urban so that's why I say "prolly". My mouth goes to make the "B" sound but it never quite makes it.

I avoid the stumbling over those Bs. I say "most likely"
With the following syllables:
pro - ba - bly

phonetic:
[prob-uh-blee]
/ˈprɒbəblɪ/

Funny, this one goes for the 'ah' instead of 'uh' sound.

"Probly" lol

Most people round here say is as "probly". We don't have a problem with saying the letter "b" so we don't say "prolly" here.
