I've been trying the strategy suggested in another thread by BigB79, and that's to bid like a bot.

and wow, it's been working, I've used it twice now, bidding every round with exactly 15 seconds to go, both times 7 or 8 other bidders have been in at the start and I got both players won by the end of round 6. Maybe just luck but .. I think bidding like a bot works and scares other bidders off : D

So cheers BigB79 for the idea ... and bid like bots people .. it may just work ))
