Backorders are rarely reliable unless no one else wants the name during
the drop. Reason is that some companies have really good snaping engines through
dozens of high speed lines and servers, and they pound the registry
during the drop period like a gazillion times. The winner between the
winner and the loser of the snap can be about 1/100th of a second.
So against the hard core snappers, most registrars
that offer backorders don't really have a chance unless
that domain is not on snap by those people who have the technology.
