Board Price
generalThe board price refers to the odds displayed on the bookmakers' boards at a horse or greyhound racetrack. These are the current, live odds available from on-course bookmakers. When a bettor "takes the board price," they are accepting the odds shown at that exact moment, as opposed to taking the starting price (SP), which is determined at the beginning of the race.

The board price refers to the odds displayed on the bookmakers' boards at a horse or greyhound racetrack. These are the current, live odds available from on-course bookmakers.

Example
A punter at the racecourse saw the board price for a horse was 5/1 and decided to place their bet immediately to lock in those odds, rather than waiting and taking the potentially lower starting price.
