What does SP stand for?

When placing a bet on Horse Racing you can select from two available pricing options - the price the selection is at time of placement or the Starting Price (SP).

Starting Price means that whatever odds your selection is at the start of the race are the odds you will receive for your bet. If betting is available during a race, then the (SP) will be the last available odds for the selection.

(SP) isn't available for Ante Post bets, where the Ante Post price must be taken. For more info on Ante Post, click here.

How do I select SP?

To select the Starting Price (SP), before placing your bet you will need to ensure the 'SP (Starting Price)' box is ticked as seen below - if you don't tick this, you will not receive the starting price odds.

What markets is SP available on?

• Starting Price (SP) is available on Race Winner markets. You can bet on this market with a Win Bet or an Each Way Bet. For more information on Each Way Bets, see our article here.
• To find out more about our Horse Racing Rules, see our article here.

I can't see an option to select SP on my bet, why is this?

• Starting Price (SP) is only available on the browser version of Sky Bet, and is not currently available on our App. If you're looking to place a (SP) bet please use the browser version, which can be found here.
• Please be aware that (SP) is not available for every race. If you're using the browser and don't see the option to select (SP), it means it's not offered for that race.
