    Sniper bidding

    O.K. all you snipers out there. As mentioned earlier nothing wrong with using a sniping software. I just never have to use the software because I usually can bid on something myself. I have come to realize that the term "sniper bidding" has different meanings. There is the sniper software...

    Sniper bidding

    Hey, How about when a dealer shows up a little late and there is a crowd milling about. I've seen it look like a feeding frenzy around the dealers table. The dealer can't get the bottles out fast enough and answer the one question that everyone is asking, "how much?" Yeah, that kung fu grip...
