Recent bids won't help you at all. What's important is whether it's school holidays, whether it's the beginning or end of a week, whether it's a day with multiple flights to LAX, whether it's the aircraft that continues onto LHR, whether ... you get the idea. If you want any feedback (and bear in mind that feedback would be a guess at best - the program is incredibly opaque), you need to specify the details of your flight and what you are prepared to offer.
