No, I hate that honestly

Add to the intrigue.

And if I bid $100 for a player I could have had for $5 I don’t want to know that.

I bid $5 for Davante Adams.

Joe bid $301.

I think Joe won. For now.

I honestly agree with you, but go with what the majority want.

To each his own. Fact is you won;'t have to check if you don't want to know. As for giving away strategy info, not sure it applies TBH. I know each round of bidding my bidding could and does change depending on the players available, injuries on my roster, my feeling on where my roster stands vs other teams and so on. Often I'm tore how much to bid and often I start my bids conservatively but then get nervous and increase my bid or at least consider increasing my bid as time run short and personally I'd like to know where my bid landed, was it much higher, in the ball park, just barely enough. Maybe I'm the exception on that, but I do think most others have that desire to know also. To me this is a small thing though and I don't feel it effects anything beyond scratching a itch to know. So I'm fine going with the flow.

If you want to see my cards, it’s gonna cost you.

I've already seen your bids.....all in, all the way on Jefferson, then zero dollars from then on. Didn't cost me a penny.

i think the whole idea of FAB is to keep your bids private....

at least i see it that way..

IDK about that, my other league that uses FAAB shows all the bids so it seems like the norm to me. I like it that way but maybe I'm in the minority, guess we could vote on it next season and find out. Auction leagues bids are all in the open and FAAB is related to actions leagues as both have a budget and bids.

Honestly Harold i am in expierenced at aution/fab

and ya totally on the table at the draft as you bid out loud as in an auction

however afterwords i see waivers as a silent bid...

but hey a vote is certainly always a great idea eh @TREFF

I have played a lot of FAAB leagues. Never have I played one where losing bids were public.

I like @broncosmitty analogy. Shouldn’t have to show your cards after you fold.

With Kincaid being on the waiver wire, thought appropriate to post this here.

Best team name of the 2024 season in one of my leagues.

The team has many underachievers on it and is 0-4 in last place.

He changed his name to:

“This team has KincAIDS”

Hilarious

It’s kinda a rule in life.


I’d be fine with whoever buys the pot/player, getting to look. But nobody that isn’t in it to the end. Even if that’s on account of a short bid. They don’t get to see.


I respect the curiosity. And desire to see. Really do. But that’s what the money in your pocket could’ve bought. But didn’t.

 

[averagejoe]

Anyone interested in trading for Davante Adams?

Sure

I will give you Demario Douglass

 

[jwolt92]

I agree that bids should remain private. My reasoning is if I bid x amount on a player but lose and that player returns to the pile, I don't want my opponent knowing how interested I was in him the first time in case I still have interest and want to go after him again

Let me show you then:





Just so you know I'm not making it up. I'm going to drop the subject since I'm the only one who seems to want that info available
