Playing in the $1 money game, I used to be able to hover my mouse over my bids before making them and see how GIB would interpret them.....since a few weeks, this no longer happens. On one computer, I get nothing and on the other (a more powerful CPU and better internet connection) I still get no blurb but when I click on the bid I hear a sort of repetitive slight clicking noise (like the cursor was on some option repeatedly). Needless to say, my results have suffered somewhat.

Has something changed in the program? I have learned a lot of GIBS "bidding ideosyncracies" but others are still out there lurking. Wassup?

Is there then a description of the "system" used by the GIBs? I just screw up often enough to cost me my winning percentage..... :)

Try this:

1. Log in
2. Click the CONV button on the toolbar
3. Click "Options..." in the menu that appears
4. Make sure "Of bids you might make" is checked

If this doesn't help feel free to post here, but there is a better chance that someone on our staff will notice if you e-mail: support@bridgebase.com

What we know about the system that GIB plays can be found here:
