sorry, can you elaborate on this? It sounds like you are saying that Nordeus is bidding on players with his team? huh?

I bid in the last 5 secs as I had only 2 Tokens left and I really wanted( but not needed, I confess) that player as he was amazing. And other times connection used to go and that too only if I had been online for a long time. This time, to insure good connection, I logged in 1 minute be4 deadline and sat next to the router to insure 100% signal strength. And still!!!!! BTW, Nordeus support will never answer me, leave alone giving my tokens back. So am not wasting time there. And please, the signal here is perfect. no problem at all!!!! And I was bidding in the last 5 secs, while that moron's bid was coming up just 1 sec be4 deadline!!! This is sad!!! Well, lost only 3 thankfully but that is much for a 35T manager like me!!!

So it sounds like server lag. Hopefully this teaches you to always bid in the first few seconds. I rarely ever bid in the last 5 seconds unless i'm trying to outsmart another bidder

if you get the last bid in that round the other person might not bid the next round / run out of tokens / give up etc . isee some peopel biddign twice the same round .. poinltess as well

Especially in lower leagues there are players who do not bid in another round when they already have the leading bid... So you can take him out with bidding for example in round 4 as the first, he may think you're frustrated, bidding your last token, then you counter with a last second bid in the next round, and I really mean a last second bid, not when 2 or 3 seconds are left. I've won many players by using this strategy.

Thanx for explaining this. Token buyers usually won't understand. I have done the same many times and won many players with just 1 or 2 T in hand.

I guess my feeling is that if you are risking a late bid, don't be upset if it doesn't work. Support might help when something wacky happened in bidding, but if you were just trying to be sneaky... you chose that risk.

Its not that I went for last sec. I went for last 5 out of 19 secs. And a skip of 1 or 2 secs, which often happens, wudn't have affected. But a skip of 10 secs all at once, is that not too much???

And I've won many players by just flat out bidding early.

If you constantly bid in the first 1-4 seconds, it gives the impression that you want him badly and are not risking any sort of server lag which could potentially lose you tokens. These are the kinds of players that will not fall to a trick like that. So this is why I'm saying, bid early... Forget about stuff like that because as you progress through the levels, everyone will know bidding strategies.

I have won my last one in a very simple way.
Saw a player with triple role and sa, witch auction ended in 5am, put in my favorites, and whent to sleep, iPad always makes a warning signal 2 minutes before the end of auction, i woke up with the signal, bid the player, won it, and got back to sleep.
