Best way to catch a soon expiring domain name?

[nsood3]

Hi
I know that a domain is soon about to expire, what is the best way to capture so that I got some fair chance against the automated expired domain catching companies?

I know you can backorder in Godaddy, but I don't know "efficient" that is? (meaning how aggressive it will try to capture it).

Or should I signup with many different backorder services to get a better chance?

I use GoDaddy right now and it caught my backordered one. I was really happy to get it and it was really cool since it expired two months from when I backordered it. I was so happy to get it. You may want to try a few sites, though because I don't know if their the quickest or not.

The best strategy is to hedge your bets, and backorder it with all the major players. Since you only pay they snap it up, there's little risk in doing so. The major players are:

www.snapnames.com
www.enom.com
