Always accept your first round offer, even if it is not what you want. You can always drop it later without financial penalty.
You will only get a second round offer if there is a spot available in a preference higher than the one you got in main round (unless you change your preferences). You cannot get a second round offer if you got your first preference in the main round (unless you change your preferences). Hence to maximise your chances in the second round, you should change your preferences, and put the thing you really want as number 1.
V - absolutely guarantees there will be second round offers if the applicants meet the ATAR cutoff.
No V - offers can still be made. Most unis make second round offers in most courses except the most popular ones.
Last year Sydney uni made second round offers in most courses, even ones not listed as V.
It is also unlikely that unis apply a substantially higher cut off for second round compared to main for most courses.
Strongly suggest anyone hoping to get second round offers should read the FAQ at http://www.uac.edu.au/undergraduate/faq/main-round-offers.shtml
