TemplateDoesNotExist Error Django, it is looking in the right directory

So I'm getting a template does not exist error when I try to load a template. Here are the directories it is telling me it's looking in:

Django tried loading these templates, in this order:
Using loader django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader:
/Users/vmgarcia/PycharmProjects/statgrabber/statgrabber/templates/betting/index.html (File does not exist)
Using loader django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader:
/Users/vmgarcia/PycharmProjects/statgrabber/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/templates/betting/index.html (File does not exist)
/Users/vmgarcia/PycharmProjects/statgrabber/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/templates/betting/index.html (File does not exist)

The first path it looks in is the correct path and the file index.html does exist.

This is my setup:

Here is my code:

settings.py

"""
Django settings for statgrabber project.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/settings/

from django.http import HttpResponse

# site index
def index(request):
    context_dict = {'boldmessage': 'I am bold from the context'}
    return render(request, 'betting/index.html', context_dict)

urls.py

from django.conf.urls import patterns, url
from betting import views

urlpatterns = patterns('', 
    url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'))

Any help would be appreciated. I've spent a reasonable amount of time trying to figure out what was wrong and I couldn't figure it out.

One thing to note is that django didn't automatically generate a TEMPLATE_DIRS and TEMPLATE_LOADERS variable and I had to put it in myself.

The problem as I see it is that you haven't added statgrabber app to the list of installed apps and the django template engine is unable to access the templates inside that.I can think of two solutions.

1.Either put your templates folder inside the betting app.

2.Add statgrabber app to the list of installed apps.
