Why people bid last second?

[cracicot]

It's a good tactic to bid in last one and it's giving you an advantage, but also you are risking a lot.

Its a good tactic but can easily be worked against you. I prefer to bid first for 2 reasons:

1) It shows that I'm in the game...I want the player.
2) Bid first and the other player is forced to bid to stay in the game. The next round, he is in control and you bid at the final 2-3 seconds and win because most of the time people dont want to spend that extra token to make sure you win.

I have won MANY an auction like this.

I am using both tactics, at the start, in first 3,4 rounds I am bidding right at the start, then I bid in last 5-3 seconds, giving him the fake impression that I am out of tokens and after that the final attack in the last second. (is working very good).

This.

Good strategy, I've also won auctions this way.

Point taken. This is quite similar to my strategy, haven´t lost a bid since I started to play. Just bailed twice in a favour for a friend and a opponent.

I use this same tatics.And another good thing is when there 3 or 4 free agents in a row ,usually there will be same managers trying to make some money.If you go to higher rounds for the 1st player and win , they will quit from another ones and you could win with just one token.
