I would suggest the same thing happened at the trade session. Was told by other Members who arrived early that the Machines were being played by parties with intent on selling on Auction. That was the reason the Plaza.& Vegas Club,stopped putting the Blue Strikes in the Machines,in order for everyone to be able to win them,rather than being manoployed,by one party. The Vegas Club,then put the Strikes in play on Wednesday the day after the Trade session. Just a guess,but am sure Freddie Maatouk would know!!
