lets take it from the beggining,probably our friend who lost 24 tokens is a new in the game,expirience managers know when to stop,now lets say i have 100 mil in cash and 24 tokens.the player i want to ger costs 99 mil,so i bid a token,now before time is ended i see another player whos value is another 95 mil.so i think since i got tokens i bid for him too, thinking that after if i get both players i could put on sale some other players not needed since i get these new ones on market.now if i go to challenge with another bidder i know that by bidding i ll increase the value of the player and i ll loose tokens.i say again system doesnt know u ll win every player u bid so thats why it lets u bid another player,it will stop u after it realizes u gone negative......for u all new managers u always should check before continue bidding like crazy value for tokens u bid and sure check who is u re opponenent that bids
