Bookies in the Birmingham and Meridian, Alabama areas will be taking plenty of bets on the Crimson Tide and Auburn.  It’s all about College Football betting in this state. 

Back when sports betting first emerged in the mid to late 1990’s, offshore sportsbooks focused heavily on ad buys for local sports radio stations throughout Alabama.  This state loves their College Football and they love betting.

Alabama and, specifically the Birmingham and Meridian areas, see more search inquiries for “College Football” than any other region in the US.  Birmingham, with a population that is about 40 times less than that of New York City, still sees a much higher volume of College Football fans based on its population. 

Tuscaloosa, home to the Crimson Tide, sees a peak of 100 on the search scale for the term “College Football”.  Jacksonville, Alabama also sees a high 100 on the search index during the month of September for “College Football”.

Bookmaking in Alabama is not only prevalent because of the popularity of College Football, it is also considered a misdemeanor as opposed to a felony.
