I have another example today, why you should not relay (just) on Steem Bot Tracker tool, when you place bids for bot voting and why users loose money at the moment, when using bots.

Bot name: @boomerang

Received transfers in voting round

Placed votes for the same voting round

As you see, the first user to place the bid was @godflesh with 13.000 STEEM.

Here are 3 screenshots from Steem Bot Tracker for the same voting round.

1st

2nd

3rd

As you can see in first screenshot, the tool did not detect first bid of 13.000 STEEM at all, but has detected the second, which was by @shayan143 (1.500 STEEM or approx. $1.40 as shown in tool). All the way to the last screenshot, when @boomerang bot made it's vote, the first bid of 13.000 STEEM was still not included, so I guess many users assumed they can still place their bids at the end.

At the end all bidders have once again made the loss with their bids. So either tool is far from perfect and being reliable or are bots somehow programmed to hide some figures to gain more profit.
