I'm trying to grasp the difference between 多分 「たぶん」and 恐らく「おそらく」.
If I'm understanding pic related correctly, then this person is saying that 多分 is usually predicated upon past events ("This has happened many times before, so it will 'probably' happen again"). And then 恐らく is based more upon how the speaker feels ("This candidate is unlikable so he will 'probably' lose the election")

Am I on the right track?
