You'll never succeed against someone bigger, this guys have tools have their
own registrars and they catch the domains before you even see the updates
in the root servers.
If its not an important domain but has traffic or type ins and you think you have a
chance of getting it your best bet is pool.com
If its a shitty domain nobody wants any registrar will do
