# Starting Price Integration

Usually in the industry when placing a bet on Horse Racing you can select from two available pricing options:

-the price/odds the selection is at the time of bet placement\
-or **Starting Price (SP).**

When placing a bet on **SP**(**Starting Price) it** means that whatever odds your selection is at the start of the race, are the odds you will receive for your bet. The last available open and active odds.

**SP** is mainly targeted for Thoroughbred, Greyhounds and Harness - These are the Sports that we need support SP for.

Instead of having a bet only 6h before a horse racing event, you could already place it days before. Markets will open for betting significantly longer time period.

SP market is a market which has no price on time of bet placement. Such bets can be placed during the prematch phase of the event only.

Official SP is offered for UK & IRE races. For every other country, last available price is used.&#x20;
