How a Fantasy Auction is Like a Black Jack Hand

The goal in blackjack is to get as much money on the table when the dealer is showing a weak card (4, 5, or 6).   So you double down or split whenever possible and/or prudent.  Thus, getting more money on the table and hoping for the dealer bust.

In auction formats of any fantasy sport, be it football, baseball, hockey, basketball or Caribbean cricket, you want to nominate players early that you do not want, bid them up to value that you can live with, then get out of the way. 

You see?  You are getting more money on the table and out of people's pockets early so you can scoop up bargains later. 

Do this in your first 5 or 6 rounds when it is your turn to nominate.
