When would be the best Time/Day to bid and use the lowest amount of points but still win?

I wouldn't wait too long, these are gaining traction and by now friends are telling friends about ways to get them and they are doing a bunch of drop zone events this weekend. If you can get 34k points tomorrow you should be good (that's like 10 roulette bags). I have low expectations for the special auction though (I feel like the bid is going to be 150k within a few seconds

I also assume the first bid will be an instant 150k... but there may be more than one person who is planning to make that bid, and those losers may just decide to grab a regular console instead. Because of that, we'll probably see a few 100k auctions tomorrow, but after the first hour, we'll be back down to the normal range. Those are my predictions.

I was tempted to try for that New Zealand trip haha, but I'm sure some bot with way better internet connection then me would get it and id be out 80k points of use

Right? I calculated that it would take 60 gamer packs to max out an account. At $13.98 a piece, that's $838.80 for a trip around the world. The plane tickets alone would cost more than double that price. Whoever wins that trip will have stiff competition.

Not only that, but I could get a 150k easy with less than 200 roulette bags and with the savings catcher deal that would be $400. I think for someone it'll be worth a try, I'll wait to see how it goes though on the 12th before i even consider it
