The market, read in numbers

The bookmakers have made Rory McIlroy favourite for the ABU DHABI ALDAR CHAMPIONSHIP at 7.25/1. That is an implied 12.1% before the margin comes out, and 11.1% once the book is normalised back to 100%. On that number this is a moderate favourite rather than a standout, with Tommy Fleetwood next in at 9.8/1.

The five shortest players in the market share 34.0% of the win chance between them, which leaves 66.0% spread across the other 64 priced players. That is a fairly typical shape for a full-field event: a recognisable top of the market, and a long tail where the prices are set with much less care. 36 players are priced at 100/1 or bigger.

Take the best price available on every player and the overround on this market is 3.2%, or 4.6% once the each-way terms are valued properly. The cheapest single bookmaker on this event is Betfair Exchange at 7.4% (1 @ 1/1), so taking the best price player by player is worth 4.2 points of margin before a single selection is made. We explain how the number is built in what are the bookies' margins on golf, and which books are worth having an account with in which bookie is best for golf.

Our model prices every player in the field from world ranking points, recent form and the strength of the field, then compares that price against the market. Where our number is higher than the bookmakers', there is an edge - that is the Discrepancy column in the table below. Picks are the players with the biggest edge once the each-way terms on offer are taken into account, which is why a 150/1 shot at 1/5 odds and 8 places can be a better bet than the same player at 150/1 and 5 places elsewhere.
