Seriously, is there any missinformation passing around on the forums or on the help page?

I just won an auction in 9 knocout rounds for a very good 19yo MC.

I competed at first with 3 guys, that quickly turned into a fight between me and another guy.

This guy bet 4 tokens on the inicial round!!
This guy bet 3 tokens in the 1st knockout round!!
For every other knockout round until 9, he always bet 2 tokens p/round!!

I wasted 10 tokens, while he wasted around 19 and lost!

I came up with 3 options:

-He loves Nordeus and is rich
-He is not informed at all how this works
-He is a nordeus employer that does this on purpose so i waste more tokens

I saw on a quick search that this is a recurrent situation.
Should the information about the funcionality of the transfer market be more clear?
