Since a market can start as a **Starting Price (SP) market** and later become a **normal market** after a configured timepoint, bet placement should follow these rules:

* **Bet Placement Rules:**
  * Bet placement is allowed **only for single and multi bets** on Starting Price markets.
  * Starting Price bets should only be allowed when:

    `Market.ExtraParameters : { "IsSp": "true" }`
  * **Odds** are **not provided** during SP bet placement.
  * **Live events** are **not allowed** to accept bets for Starting Price markets.
