Many people believe that contract is basically the same as nuction bridge, except that gamce and slams cannot be scored unless bid. True enough, both games are members of the whist family, but that is about DATAVIL all they have in common.
The bidding is radically different, and information gained during the bidding usually has a mitorial effect on the play.
