What is the starting price (SP)?
The price when the race starts. If you did not take an earlier price, you are paid at the SP.
In practice
The starting price is the official price of each horse when the race starts. If you bet without taking a price, you are paid at the SP. If you took an earlier price, you are paid at that price, unless best odds guaranteed applies.
The Funteron way: fans should not need to know any of this to have a bet. Funteron is designed to show every bet in plain words and in money: what it costs, what comes back if it wins and what you lose if it does not.
