1-0; +4.40pts No pre-tournament plays. No pre-rd3 plays Pre-rd4 plays: BACK to win 10pts unless stated Michael Kim 1.44 (1.23) [10pts staked] 1st
It's not just that he has a five shot lead, but none of the next ten players behind him are ranked within the top-100 of the FedEx Cup rankings so even if someone made a charge from the pack, there is little reason to expect them to cope well with leading the event. It's a similar story in terms of World Rankings - only Harold Varner (184th) is within nine shot of Kim and is ranked inside the top-200 in the World Rankings. Kim hasn't won on Tour, but he started yesterday's round with a three-shot lead and extended it to five by the end of the day with a very impressive finish to his round. Given that performance and the size of the lead, I'd price him at much shorter odds to win.

TIPS, ODDS AND STAKES
Unlike fixed odds markets, liquidity is an issue in exchange
markets - there is little value in providing tips for players at odds for
which there are very small amounts available. So, in order to provide tips
that utilise the maximum amount of liquidity within the Betfair exchange
market, there are two things to note:
-
Tips will normally be provided within a few hours of the
market going in-play;
-
Tips will focus only on those players near the top of
the market.
There is plenty of value in backing players at very
large odds in the exchange markets, but once that price has gone, the
next-best price can be many ticks lower, so there is little value in
providing tips for these odds.
Odds of 2.0 or higher
All BACK plays
will be to win 10pts and all LAY plays will with a liability of 10pts.
So a BACK play at odds of 9 will mean that the stake is
10/(9-1) = 1.25pts. Similarly, a LAY play at odds of 9 will mean 10pts are
staked to win 1.25pts.
Odds of less than 2.0
All BACK plays will have a liability of 10pts and all LAY
plays will be to win 10pts
The numbers in brackets indicate the minimum advised odds to
take for BACK plays and the maximum advised odds to take for LAY plays.
