An Angle Park local took out third spot in the Sportspick Punters Challenge Championship over the weekend.
As a national competition designed to bolster and enhance the beloved Saturday Punters Challenge tipping competition, the 10-week Championship has left an indelible mark on the national tipping scene, showcasing Sportspick's dedication to providing both local and national punters with an unforgettable, action-packed experience.
Patrons compete within their local Sportspick establishments, vying for the opportunity to claim a local prize pool and qualify for the national Punters Challenge Championship final, where a substantial $25,000 in prizes awaits.
