Las Vegas - 'TIGER KING,' the you'll-never-believe-this Docuseries, is sweeping the world and has put its paws in my living room. We've watched four episodes, and while it is truly compelling, wacky & weird, it AIN'T all that and a bag of chips. If you wanna sink your teeth into some really fabulous stuff, try binging 'The Valhalla Murders,' or 'Dogs of Berlin.' More about Berlin in a minute, and trust me, you will NOT be disappointed!

However, since 'Tiger King' is trending, of course, we have stuff you can wager actual dollars on. If you have not seen any of this cultural phenomenon, STOP reading right now. Otherwise, lets get busy.

Carole Baskin's husband Don disappeared last year. If he turns up dead and you think that Carole the Cat Lady was the guilty party, the odds are heavily skewed toward, oh No she didn't, at -$2000. You wanna wager on, oh Yes she did, you can get +$1000. You think they're gonna find Don's body? The rumor is that Baskin's Tigers had a midnight snack, and the No wager on finding the body is -$2000, while the Yes is +$1000. Another far fetched rumor has Joe Exotic, the Tiger King his own self, getting a pardon from Donald Trump. Joseph Allen Maldonado-Passage, Joe Exotic, was convicted on 17 federal charges of animal abuse (eight violations of the Lacey Act and nine of the Endangered Species Act), and two counts of murder for hire, for a plot to kill Big Cat Rescue CEO Carole Baskin. He is currently serving 22 years in federal prison. Will Trump pardon Joe Exotic? Bet the Yes and you gotta put up $1600 to win back $100, while the take back on the No is $800 for a $100 bet.

You can expect a movie version in 2021 or 2022, and a number of the A-list Hollywood names are scratching & clawing to grab a part. And NATURALLY, we're gonna have some odds, maybe tomorrow.

However, if you wanna really AMAZING series to binge, and don't mind subtitles, try 'The Dogs of Berlin.' Think there's like 10 episodes, and it has more twists and turns than a game of yes, TWISTER! Lemme warn you that there is some nasty language, gruesome violence and a sprinkling of nudity. So, send the kids to their rooms and tell 'em to watch 'Shaun the Sheep!'
