When racing against the computer on Mario Kart Wii, there isn't really much point in being too strategic with the placement of items, because they usually work anyway.However, when you are racing against housemates, friends or racing online, you need to be a little more intelligent about the placement of your items because lets face it, they are pretty easy to dodge otherwise.
Banana skins and Dud Item Boxes both slow down your opponents greatly if places intelligently.
I've found through experience and through thinking about it logically, that you need to try and 'hide' items because otherwise they are too easy to see and dodge.
Some of the best places to do this are straight after sharp corners and also in dips. You should also note that a lot of jumps send all karts to the same landing place, so putting a skin or box down the split second after you land also works very well indeed!
Wario Goldmine is an awesome level for dropping items because there are a lot of dips where you can place the items in, and your opponents will only see them at the last second.
Good luck with beating your housemate ;)
