Hard to believe it is almost time to start betting on NFL games again!

As camps open, bettors will face a mountain of information from writers and TV experts. Most of this information is useless for sports bettors. So while you wait for the real games to start, it is a good time to reflect back on how you did last season and try to learn from your mistakes.

If you figure out the reasons why you lost your shirt, that can help you prepare for the upcoming season.

Did you bet too early in the week, or did you miss out because you waiting until the last moment?

Are you one to follow your gut, or do you trust the weekly betting trends?

Nobody was ready for Tom Brady's injury and the demise of the New England Patriots. That should change this season as the Pats are listed at +400 to win the Super Bowl.
