As soon as you see the "Wait" sign - refresh immediately, unless you're playing through mobile or via tethering. If you're on a broadband connection, it simply means that the game has timed out.
It has happened to me 2 or 3 times, and luckily the first two I got the players anyways because nobody else had placed a bid. The third time I already knew my lesson and hit F5 immediately, just in time to get into the last 5 seconds of the bidding round. :)
