Appalachian State University is located in Boone, North Carolina in the far Northwest corner of the state.  The Mountaineers were the first FCS team to win three straight national championships since the playoffs began  the most successful College Football program in the Tar Heel State of North Carolina, owning an 11-2 record, one less loss than North Carolina University and its Tar Heels.  

The state ranks among the top 10 states in terms of College Football fan base size.  Sports bettors are plentiful in North Carolina, not just because of College Football, but because their NFL Panthers made it to the Super Bowl last year.  The state has one of the largest College Basketball fan and betting bases in the nation.

Bookie Exposure – MEDIUM

Bookies who operate in this region and target Mountaineers fans have enjoyed modest profits over these past two seasons despite the team’s Unbridled success (especially last year).  That’s because Appalachian State, as good as they were, concluded both seasons under the .500 mark Against The Spread. 

The Gambling911.com-endorsed RealBookies.com would certainly have helped to boost those profits even further with reduced overhead and by providing loss leaders such as an online casino, future proposition bets and the highly impulsive and extremely popular LIVE IN-PLAY wagering feature are readily available.  This is something a local simply cannot provide. New advances in technology have certainly re-invented the world’s second oldest profession.

2016 Expectations – VERY GOOD

For sports bettors, the Mountaineers are widely expected to win their first FBS Conference title this season as they return most of their players, including nine on defense.

Appalachian State fell a game short of its first Sun Belt title last season.

2016 Odds

Future odds for this team are not entirely easy to come by.

To open the season, the Mountaineers will face a Tennessee Vols team that ranks among the top 10 most likely teams to vie for a College Football Championship win.  On they road, Appalachian State had odds of +21

The OVER/UNDER regular season wins total was set at 9 with the UNDER priced at -125.  The OVER has value at -105.
