    Fairly sure its just an estimate of what the Betfair SP will be. You can back or lay at SP but there is no way of knowing the exact price you are backing at or laying when you do that.
    In a weak market the projected SP could be way out.

    so price shown is just an estimate of what market represents at this time, but it could all change depending on market depth?

    Yeah, Betfair also act as a bookie on the Multiple Bets.

    They hardly pay the greater odds if the BSP is better?

    No they just pay the BSP odds.
    On multiples they say there is no commission but they actually deduct 5% from the BSP price. If you had a double and both horses were returned at 11 BSP (10/1) they only pay 9.5/1 on each...... they claim that isn't commission.
