Cockney slang? If that was the case, don't you think it would be two words which rhymes with 'starting price'?

I had never heard this one b4 but i asked my cockney boyfriend and he said starting price. Meaning information and heard in expressions such a what's the SP? meaning what's happening, or what's the information? Comes from horse racing and betting vernacular. E.g."What's the SP with the holiday accommodation? Are we staying in a hotel or apartments?"

Can I just point out that in Cockney RHYMING slang, things have to rhyme.
S.P. is not rhyming slang it is simply a colloquial abbreviation of the gambling term starting price

It is actually bookmakers slang, starting price, when it is used in "cockney rhyming slang", they are asking for all the details about something. i.e "What's the full sp then?"

"starting price" - the odds on horses at the start of the race.
It's come to more generally mean the latest, up-to-the-minute news.
