We have to take into account that if you are .5 second late, you will miss the round and the player. So we always hit it .5-1.0 seconds early just in case.

Nobody is THAT good. NOBODY.
I can do it with no problem, as long as the game doesn't lag on me. I often check how it behaves before I place even the initial bid - if I see the timer pausing for a bit and skipping a second - I'm out!

With that said, I don't believe in bots participating in the auctions. Sure, there are douchebags as well as people who just only buy on free transfer and keep piles of money. I'm low on cash right now and today I decided to go myself for a high-value free agent. Saw two ones that were worth it, but I quit after the second bid on the first one and just watched. There was this newbie player and another one, obviously a token buyer with a team full of scouts. Needless to say - the token buyer won. Then on the second free agent, those same newbie and token buyer bid, with the addition of another token buyer, which I've seen spend tens of tokens daily. The newbie of course didn't stand a chance. There are always a few players that have lots of money and time to spend. But they are either millionaires or idiots, not bots.
