well of those 150mio an average of 10% goes to buzzerbeater.. so i may have made a profit of 15mio.. but i spent many seasons where i spent much more money than i earned.. so yes this would be the rest of my money

Honestly, an "are you sure" button on bidding is a bad idea.

Imagine a bidding war?

"Bin on this player" - "are you sure?" - "yes" - "sorry, but you have to raise the bet" [another team just placed a bet] - reload page - enter new amount with some "safety gap" - "are you sure?" - "yes" - "sorry, but you have to raise the bet"...

The only way I could imagine this to happen is adding a "disable reminder" option in the preferences, which would lead to transfer active coaches like you and me disabling it within seconds.

Actually, I intended to direct it to Milicic.

Unlike the two of us, who are very likely to run into problems while investigating indeed, a trade-active coach would most likely be annoyed quickly if there is a "are you sure" option without being able to disable it.

Can we agree that without the possibility to disable it it would be pain in the butt for pretty much everyone?

the restriction to bid more than 10x of the current price prevents players from accidently placing a bid way over the price you wanted to bid.

i agree it could be anoying in a bid war to always be asked to confirm the bid. but for the first bid you could make players confirm their bids. because there you have the same problem of doing something wrong.. you think its 200.000 but its 2mio you bid and youre fucked up. thats the same like a player who stands at 200k and you accidently bid 2mio.

its a matter of counting zeros :)

Today I got another reason against the "confirm" button - I went into a bidding war via my mobile phone (not via WLAN, but via mobile connection).

Every Pageload took a while, and when another confirmation page would pop up it would be virtually impossible to use mobile phones for bidding. A big downer nowadays.

you got me wrong.. i dont want a button in a bid war.. in a bid war you usually bid the next few k $ so you dont get in trouble

i mean only for the first bid ever placed on a player. thats where you can get in trouble mixing up 0000000 with 00000000 or something.. as soon as there is a bid on a player there is no need for confirmation except for the restriction of not being able to bid more than 10x..
