Marshall Thundering Herd College Football Sports Betting, Bookie, Pay Per Head

This article focuses on Marshall and its successful Thundering Herd College Football program, the exposure for bookies and the early 2016 sports betting odds.

Marshall is located in Huntington, West Virginia.  They were the most successful football program in the state last season and oddsmakers had them winning 9 regular season games in 2016.

West Virginia ranked as the number 15 College Football state in the nation in terms of fan base and sports bettors. 

Bookie Exposure – HIGH

Marshall had a very successful season last year and finished 8-5 Against The Spread.  Bookies will be unable to turn a profit on their own and will need to utilize a Pay Per Head.  Marshall is expected to be good once again in 2016.

The Gambling911.com-endorsed PerHead.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 Thundering Herd are widely expected to win at least 9 regular season games this season.  Athlon notes that entire offensive line will help the young skill players on offense immensely, so the Herd should see improvement despite the graduation losses.

2016 Odds

Future odds have Marshall winning 9 regular season games and 3-1 to win Conference USA.
