I enjoy soccer, but like the OP, this World   Cup has failed to enthuse me for some reason.

Quite right. I've just removed any political content

If you mean the Women's T20 at Edgbaston, I totally agree They played excellently

Good start by England today beating Sri Lanka in their first game

A very British thread this.

If I put in my maximum bid and it loses I only have myself to blame as it shows someone wanted it more than I did, otherwise I should have made a bigger bid

The OP invites opinions.
The title of the thread is not 'The World Cup is great'

If you don't like football why don't you Fifa Off. I don't really like cricket but don't interfere when the lads on here are discussing it and hope they really enjoy it.

Hi Martin @port perran . I'll give you my thoughts to your OP when I've calmed down a bit   

Yes, what it sold for. Not what the other person bid. So you see £101, and think "ahh balls, should've bid slightly more, I was so close to winning". However unless that person bid exactly £101 (and you've no way of knowing that), had you bid £102 they'd have won it for £103, up to their maximum.

Yes, the sensible thing to do is choose your price, bid and walk away. If you do this with sniping software you're assured the best chance of avoiding someone chipping away at your max over time. Otherwise stick that in a week beforehand and simply don't worry.
