World Premier League? T30 Championship Season 8

Raje, i'm not happy with the way you bidded on Pollard, why did you do that, and then carry on bidding on Pathan. If you had no intention of buying Pollard why did you bid on him.

It's annoying having 3 people have more money than you left. I've missed out on some big names in Round11+12 because of certain people's bidding tactics.
 
well dude, to be honest i have moved on since Andrew bid more than me on Keiron Pollard.:) Nothing personal my tactics in this round is simple, to get either one of them.
 
that was what i had planned to do, but seeing as i had less money left than you, i tried to get him quick while the rest of you were fighting over Pathan. As long as you don't go and take Collingwood, it's fine.

I wont as long as i get Pathan or Pollard:cheers.
 
Donnow why harrisb targets me always...! he made me pay 3.2 mil for Warner unnecessarily, warned me to stay away from Pollard(:p), now outbidded for Collingwood. Don't you feel bad at yourself for this harrisb? Please invest on someone like Styris or Hussey... You can outbid them Together! (may be not :p). But you can get either of them, Why always eye on the players I bid on?! :facepalm
 
This is why I hate auctions. Apart from Vettori, Steyn and Morgan, all the other rounds I've had to resort to my 3rd or 4th choice. And now someone places a 1.7 mil bid on Mitchell Marsh.

I'm not sure if I'm a fan of the one player per round, I'd still prefer this to a draft though.
I think I prefer the free for all auctions, like the EPL/NZPL auctions.

It may also be the share amount of people, it seems there's always someone who wants to outbid you.
 
I think the best auction I've taken part of was in Blake's old league which he ended up not finishing. Can't remember how it went exactly but it just took place in the thread and sorted into rounds and you could bid on as many players in a round that you want.

Too right. The only players who I've picked up at base price have all been well down in my preference list.

Also, for me, 24 hours is too long to wait.

Not really, it's just you get guys in other time zones stupidly raising bids by 10k, which means some auctions take a stupidly long time.

Like I saw a couple of $1,500,000 bids, then someone would actually come along and raise the bid by 10k to $1,510,000, that automatically extends the auction another 12/24 hours, when it's obvious that the original person is going to raise the bid again.

They work a lot better with 8/10 very active people, as then you don't get guys checking the auctions every 20 hours and raising bids by 10k.
