live roulette chips placed late even tho timer still had 3 seconds left

was playing live roulette earlier and kept noticing my chips getting placed super late. like, i’d hit bet with a few seconds left on the timer not cutting it crazy close or anything, but sometimes they’d pop up after the timer finished, or the dealer would say no more bets as my chips landed. doesn’t happen every time, but enough that i’m starting to worry if i’m missing out on actual wins because of it.

i’ve got decent internet and usually play from my laptop, not my phone. it’s not the end of the world, but i’m trying to get more consistent and this kinda messes with the rhythm. does anyone else have this happen? are there tricks to get more reliable timing for your bets, or is this just part of live dealer life?
