Starting price (SP)

The starting price is the official odds of a horse or greyhound at the off, used to settle bets without a taken price and central to best-odds-guaranteed.

In racing, the starting price (SP) is the official price returned as a race begins. It settles bets placed at SP and is the reference for best-odds-guaranteed concessions, which pay the larger of your taken price and the SP.

Because BOG value depends on the relationship between the taken price and the SP, racing matched betting tracks both — and the feed's BOG matcher type frames this.
