Pit Trading Card Game Help

Game is as such:

5 cards faced down each with a value of 1 -9 so the expected value of 'the market' is 25. One card is then turned over periodically.

Each player places bids/offers on the value of the overall market before each card is turned.

What strategy do you recommend following? Maximum position size is 100 'lots' long or short.
