When i bet the last seconds always the Auction goes in the Next Round but when other bed in the last seconds they win. What i make wrong. I dont play long this game. Yesterday was it going to bet round 12 and i was always the first in the round but its going always in the next round .Than somebody have bet in the last second and i loose. ?????
Greetings
First you should collect more tokens, then try to bid, also if there are a lot of players who bid for that player you should avoid to go far if you have only few.
I think he wants to know how the bidding works. If you want to stay in the bidding war then you need to bid every round, it do not matter who bids the most on the round, in the end you want to be the only one who bids on the last round. If no one else bids on the player on that round but you, then the player is yours. But if someone else bids with you on that round then the bidding goes to next round.
21 tokens gone and all my money lost :(
im only level 2,
but i try not to look at the seconds, i just look to the top right square. if it is red i bet, if it is yelow or green i dont bed.
if after three rounds there are still a lot of people bidding, i tap out.
Also if i find someone who will bet several tokens per round i will follow several rounds with one bet, if he keeps up the pace he probably has plenty tokens, so i tap out.
if i find someone who tries to bet every last seconds, it probably means they dont want to spend too many tokens(or dont have many tokens), so i stay in. they usualy leave after a few rounds.
Like someone said earlier if you dont have many tokens, dont try to bid on expensive players.
Ok, first, the pedanticism. LOSE (the opposite of win) not Loose (the opposite of tight).
(Not making fun of you, it's a common error these days, for some unknown reason.
OK, so ... first read This
key point: you only need to bid once per round.
Bid once in the initial round
bid once in each knockout round
Bidding more than once in any round will not help you - it is simply a waste of your tokens.
Everyone who bids in a round qualifies to bid in the next round.
If nobody bids in a round, then the last bid wins (This is the ONLY time that when you bid matters)
If only one person bids in a round, they win.
So, if I bid last with 1 second in knockout round 3 and nobody bids in knockout round 4, I win.
If I bid last with 1 second in knockout round 3 and you (and only you) bid in knockout round 4, YOU win. It doesn't matter that I was shown as 'winning' - if I don't bid in that round, you win.
No matter how many people bid, the auction continues until only one (or nobody) bids in a round.
hope that helps.
And another thing... I wouldn't bid on the last second to go. I don't know why people do it but it's a recipe for disaster... If you have a slight internet problem and it lags, you're screwed so always bid early in the knock out rounds... It won't make a difference because if the other player bids then it will go to the next round, it's just to be safe from any lag.
I have lost quite a few auctions from bidding last second after internet lagged a bit
At the beginning I thought it was a trick to bid at the last second and you can win the player......now I know that it doesn't matter at all and as dv8r said you better bid early to avoid internet lag. Also i Razz said, sometime you have the message that you are actually winning but not qualified for the next round and if the other player bid in the last second you loose because you were not qualify for the next round and your opponent did. I think that what make the false impression than the bidding in the last second make a difference, but not at all it just make a difference because your opponent think he is winning ( and he is not actually qualify for next round).Quote:

Back to your question on bidding, there are actually a few tricks to apply thogh it is not 100%. it depends on whether the other
bidder (s) are new birds. The best chance of winning will be down to 2 bidders only.
Well i can tell u that u have wrong because i have alot of tricks to buy a player !!!Quote:

The guy think that i just bidded then i went away (cuz i bid like 1hour ago) then round two at the last second i bid and i get the player !!
TRICK 2: doesnt matter the moment now, if a player really interrest me and i really want to have it i go on (never bid if there is more than 4guys) i go on and ALWAYS bid at 30-40sec from each round so they think that iam rich some of them leave. then i continu for like 3-4tokens. Then if we are just one bidder sometimes i continu to bid at the middle. To let him be the last bidder of the round (very important) then i do like i abandonned, so the guy is the last bidder and he will probably dont bid and BAM u bid at the last second! but really last second at 1 !
It works like 90% i never spend more than 7tokens for a player. U just have to be patient and dont go in if there is many bidders.
Great. For anouncing on the Forum. Now everybody uses the same trick!Quote:

A good manager won't fall for any of your tricks... when I buy players on the market and I really want the player I'm loaded with tokens and i'm prepared to go to round 40 if I need too, if the player is not worth more than 10 tokens I stop at 10. I would rather buy from scout and get a 6 stars player for 50 tokens than bid like an idiot on players with no talent that get to round 40 ... A waist of tokens and cash.Quote:

Now every now and then you will find Crazy and Stupid managers that have a huge EGO and can not lose a bidding, good luck with those guys. Be smart - use Scout list - you can wait and buy what you really need for your formation.
yes is nice to have young players but they don't develop fast enough to last you 2-3 seasons unless you spend a lot of tokens in power training.
Have a mix team - but me personally I prefer Scouts with Talent that I want in my team.
Have fun and good luck bidding for players...
You are just using common sense, I do not see the intelligence in buying 2 time or more with 30+ token a player when you can have one with 5 more skills level with ability ( usually several positions) and young( who will develop fast) for a set price of 50 token + $ amount . Ok you can try the market to get a bargain 5* player ( soon to become 6* ) with ability and young ..... But comme on except the first day when they flood the market with young talented player, how many time you really make a good bargain ..... Meaning not paying 2 time the value for 40+ tokens!!!!Quote:

trick 1 works 90% of the time, if you have only one other bidder. if there are 2 or more other bidders, especially in the last minute of the initial round, trick 1 is not possible.Quote:

for me the best approach if you really want to get the player is still to bid in the early seconds of each round. this will scare off managers with less tokens. if you are on limited budget, don't buy the high end players and bid only when there are fewer bidders in the initial round. also check the profile of fellow bidders to see if there are token buyers.
Being patient is also helpful, choose your battles I have spent 4 days now trying to gain a DR but I'm still waiting for the right one.
When it comes to players on auction don't bid on players with special abilities (unless you have plenty tokens and its definitely the right player) these will attract the most competition. Look at the cash value for a player and pick the highest at his star rating. You then get a good trainer who you can teach any special ability you want to anyway.
A good example is to bid on 24 rated 18-21 yr old with a high cash price $ who you can train rather than 25 rated with a special ability who will appear in the auction list with an extra star rating and attract more competition.
Also the above advice on auctions "tricks" is good.
i'm start to bid a player when in european time is night :p
and always look your competitor.. if they have more good quality than you maybe you need to be worried..
