The form with b – probably has been already known in the 15th century (probabli). Thus probably is the correct form.
Correct spelling, explanation: probably is the correct form; it has been known already in the 15th century as probabli. It comes from Latin probabilis, so we can clearly see that b makes sense there. This means propably is a mistaken form. The correct form is probably.
