I thought I'd open a thread where people can share how they would play certain situations. I read somewhere that a lot of good horse cappers end up losing money because they're not so good with value, so ...
Example. I capped a race for this Thursday. Ten horses, four or five contenders. I decided on #1 (8-1) and #7 (5-2). I think either one of these horses will win, and they may finish 1 and 2.
What's the best way to bet that? Obviously, #1 has more value; #7 is the favorite, at this time. Each to win, and an exacta box? Or something else? And what bet sizing?
