Some tracks are suited for Wagercapping. MNR is a perfect example. Last night one of my "non-top picks" went off at a ridiculous price. I bet him and he won the first race paying $95.60.

There are some times you really feel like kicking yourself with this approach though. For example, in the third race at PEN last night I was torn between Casto and Domin for my second win bet. At two minutes to post:

Casto was 34-1
Domin was 26-1

So, I bet Casto to win; he had the longer odds of the two. Guess what happened? Domin won the race... paying 46-1 to 1! Ouch.

At some track Wagercapping doesn't work very well. Tracks like BM and CRC which are chalk city come immediately to mind. At those tracks you're better off making multiple race wagers -- daily doubles, Pick3s & Pick4s.

And here's a tip. You see more bombs come in on a full moon than you do any other time of the month. I always wagercap on a full moon. I've been doing it for years ever since I first noticed this phenomenon.

Last night was a full moon. You can expect more bombs today too. That's one bet you can take to the bank.
