disclaimer: I have never finished in first yet, and won't ever collude or cheat to do it. I do battle back when the next round of payouts is making their runs though. Why should I allow myself to drop and have to fight back the next day if I can avoid some of it by fighting back during their payouts?
Cuz it works a lot better when you wait as long as possible before you use up your extra battles? Why fight back in the next few hours, when it's still 23 hours until your next payout, and about 40 people will be potentially pushing you back to get their payout in the meantime? Unless ur on US west coast time, where there's the entire pacific ocean behind you....
Unless I'm bored or trying new things, I will wait and use my extra battles at around 11 pm. And even then I look at the clock and try not to cross a payzone at the end of the hour.... although once I started a battle at like 10:57 or something... and ended up accidentally sniping someone's 1st place at the last second because I forgot to NOT win too fast, lol. Yeah, I noticed that guy climbing ranks and fighting to one spot. Asian character name. I think Korean.
