When you've been posting as long as I have, you need to change things up once in a while 
Started posting picks for outright winners when this place started back in 1999, moved to 18-hole match betting in 2008, now I'm changing my focus to Betfair trading.
I know that Betfair markets are not a focus on this forum, so I'll post only the BACK plays with the corresponding LAY play to get a free bet. For those interested, the full range of Betfair plays will be available on my site. In the meantime, I hope they're of interest and maybe even profitable
Small stakes during January until the Tour gets fully underway.
Pre-tournament plays
BACK 2pts
J.J. Henry 360 & lay @ 55
In two previous visits, he has finished 8th and 13th so he can clearly play well on this course. He also finished both rd1 and rd2 inside the top-20 in each of his first four events last year, so he is a good early-season player and can certainly achieve much lower odds during the event.
Troy Merritt 330 & lay @ 95
No course experience this time, but Merritt was very close to being a two-time winner last year and so doesn't warrant these odds. He did win the Quicken Loans National in August by three shots, but earlier in the year he had a three-shot lead heading into the final round of the RBC Heritage. He was overtaken and finished in 3rd place, two shots out of the playoff, but it shows that he can get momentum during an event and 95 wouldn't be too far away if he posted a decent first round.

Jordan Spieth is coming off an historic year by winning the Masters and U.S. Open, three other PGA Tour titles and the FedEx Cup. His final tweet of 2015: "Would rather this year not end."
In the last 25 years, only four players have won majors in consecutive seasons ? Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Padraig Harrington and Rory McIlroy. In the last 50 years, only four players have followed a multiple-major season by winning another major ? Woods, Tom Watson, Jack Nicklaus and Lee Trevino.
And for all he did last year, Spieth could lose the No. 1 ranking this week.

Round 4 play
BACK 2pts
Brooks Koepka 20 & lay 3pts @ 11.5
While I make Spieth 1/6 (1.17) to win this, I don't think that he should be as low as 1/9 (1.11), so I think his price will drift up during the final round, particularly as he this is only the second time that Spieth has held a lead of more than two shots at the start of the final round. He was impressive on the previous occasion - the 2015 Masters - but he had a five-shot lead after 36 holes and that had reduced to four shots by the end of the tournament. Rather than lay Spieth, I'll back Koepka to at least get as low as 11.5 and then it is a 'free bet plus' on him to win 6.50pts. He did win last year's Phoenix Open from three shots off the pace at the start of the final round and he got to within a shot of Spieth yesterday. I'll back him to get close again today.
