I'd say if I do this at a random time, the chance of anyone preempting me is tiny. And even if it does happen, I still haven't lost any money.
I agree. What I was saying is that if you pick the wrong random time, you will cancel your F ticket, the site will go down, and you'll get tired of waiting, and someone will grab the seat.
Anyway, I do a variant what you suggest pretty regularly.
