If you’ve ever bet on horse racing, you’ve probably come across the Starting Price (SP) — the odds you get when a race begins.

On Betfair, that’s known as the Betfair Starting Price (BSP). Many bettors use BSP to design betting systems or test market efficiency. But here’s the problem: BSP isn’t what it seems — and it could completely ruin your betting data.

In this video, Peter breaks down exactly why BSP is fundamentally flawed, how it’s calculated, and why using it to build betting systems can lead to false conclusions.

You’ll discover how a small timing issue creates a big distortion — meaning BSP often reflects race-in-play information rather than the true pre-off market price.

🎯 In this video:

The history of the Starting Price and how it evolved
How Betfair created BSP to mirror SP online
Why BSP is usually better value but still deeply misleading in data
The critical flaw: how BSP is resolved after the race has effectively started
How this affects your historical analysis and betting systems
What you should use instead if you want accurate pre-race data

Peter also shows a live race example using real-time tracking, Bet Angel, and Sky Sports Racing footage to prove when BSP is actually locked in — and how even a one-second delay can distort results.

💡 Key takeaway: BSP looks convenient and accurate, but it’s influenced by live race dynamics.

Don’t base your systems on it unless you understand the flaw — or you could be building on false data.

Unlock the real power of charting in Betfair trading and discover how to read market movements like a pro. Whether you're completely new to sports trading or you've stared at charts wondering what they really mean, this video breaks everything down in a clear, practical way.

Many bettors think charts are just “squiggly lines,” but in reality they reveal *powerful clues* about order flow, momentum, volatility and where the price is likely to move next — especially in pre-off horse racing markets.

In this video, Peter explains:

🎯 **What charts actually show** — and what they *don’t*
🎯 Why Betfair charts changed in 2025 and how that affects analysis
🎯 How advanced charting in Bet Angel lets you create your own custom indicators
🎯 How to spot major signals like volume spikes, order flow patterns and volatility envelopes
🎯 Why a financial-style approach won’t work in sports markets
🎯 How to combine chart reading with the ladder interface for accurate entry/exit decisions
🎯 Why certain races produce clearer, more reliable charts
🎯 When *not* to trade because the chart is giving you nothing useful

You’ll learn how to identify:

📈 **Strong backing activity**
📉 **Aggressive laying pressure**
🔍 **Flatlining price behaviour that reveals unfilled orders**
⚡ **Market conditions where charts become more effective**
❌ **Situations where charting offers little or no edge**

This is charting explained through real market logic, not superstition, indicators, or financial tools that don’t translate into Betfair’s fixed-end sports markets.

If you want to understand what’s really happening inside the market — and how experienced traders anticipate price moves — this video will give you the foundation you need.
