I track auction end times to find sleepy bidders

Has anyone tried Contabo's Mumbai auction? I need Asia latency but Vultr's Mumbai bare metal starts at $120. Contabo Mumbai VPS is €4 but I need dedicated. Do they even auction dedicated there?

We operate auction inventory across all locations where we have dedicated server stock. Mumbai included. Pricing and availability vary by local demand.

To reiterate: automated bidding is permitted within rate limits. Coordinated bidding rings, account sharing, or API abuse are not. Individual cron jobs on personal Pis are not a concern.

I missed the part where we established the 34% is real. One guy's spreadsheet, no share, no peer review. Then admin shows up to warn about ToS and suddenly everyone believes the theory? Classic forum.

I delete my long analysis, I say this in first post. Too much detail = Contabo fixes algorithm. But I share enough: 6 months, consistent, 34% higher win rate. You want my data? Start your own 6 months. Or don't. I already have my servers.

6AM CET is good, but 6AM CET on Tuesday is 12% better than 6AM CET on Friday.

This I did not check. Maybe I wake up Tuesday also now. Jajaja.

New here. So the strategy is bid at 6AM CET on Contabo? Does this work for Hetzner auctions too?

Different company, different thread. Search before posting.
