Why does it take so long to get a bullet game?

I am wondering why it takes so long to get a game; I put my settings to -50 and 2900.. I even dropped below 2000, and still takes a long time to get a game.

It's easy enough to figure out. Look at the Games tab for live chess. Sort it by rating and look at what the high rated players are playing. Very few are playing 1 0 chess. Most seem to prefer the 3 0 limit.

Maybe you'll figure out that you can't get a bullet game because nobody cares about bullet but you.

Not many members here in the 2600 level for bullet, and perhaps especially few in your time zone area.  I suspect most up around 2600 have both superb connections and top of the line fast computers (and, not many are willing to budget that much for 'gaming').

Tournaments are a great way to get some games.

Sometimes it takes me 4 or 5 seconds to get a bullet game and that's using pre-challenges... is this site laggy of what?

the real reason is because you are too high rated, lol.
