WPFH has also brought back Picking Duck’s Handicapper Marketplace, wherein the public can buy sports picks from professional handicappers. WPFH also acquired the rights to develop and produce sports betting discussion programme “Beat the Bookie”, which will initially launch as a podcast and VLOG.

With the recent Supreme Court ruling striking down PASPA, all eyes have turned to the sports and sports betting world and WPFH said it “has been anticipating this result for several months”, while making moves to secure its position as a trusted voice for information.

"Now that sports betting is legal, we expect many novice players to become highly interested in the game,” said Picking Duck’s CEO Kenneth Manubay. “And with our educational risk-free sports betting platform, it makes a great starting point for every sports fan to learn the ropes.”
