Can anyone give an explanation as to roughly how bf calculates their starting price ?
The underlying question I'm trying to answer is: if for example I place a large amount as a normal lay bet but set it to take SP at the off, how does that one bet affect the eventual SP (up or down) ?
Thanks.

all depends how much is waiting
another eg - Remember when TWIST MAGIC stole an early lead in the tingle creek BSP was 3.05 while ISP was 9/4 Fast pic boys battered it just after the off while we were SUSPENDED and hence the price |

There is some information about the SP available in the help section (see below). If this doesn't satisfy your enquiry then you may be able obtain a satisfactory response quicker on the Horse Racing forum.

Thanks guys.
I have managed to get example 2 from http://promo.betfair.com/betfairsp/FAQs_SPrules.html modelled in excel, and I now have a much better understanding of what happens. |

Just seen this on the Massey Forum
http://www.adrianmassey.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=9151&start=0 Apparently the expert on BSP is Horsetrader "Of course I have far less experience of this than Sarah does (well - who doesn't?)" . |

That Sarah is a waste of space. Told evreyone she was an exbookie but it turns out she just used to work at one. I read he other comments on BSP and she doesnt know what she is talking about
