I did all of my tracking of the bidding on the bots here.
I checked their voting and vote worth here at steemworld.org
I have used @upmewhale 2 times both in the same bidding round.
Lets look at the 2 different transactions. The first is the one is circled in blue above 👆.
At the end of the biddding round I was supposed to get an upvote worth $2.84 USD, but when i checked the payout I actually recieved a vote worth $3.10 USD. The extra .34 USD translates to .11 STU on your post. So instead of an upvote of 1.06, I got a 1.17 vote instead.
Very similar on the Red bid of 1 SBD; was supposed to get 5.69 got 6.07 instead. 🤔😊
Just a quick reminder on payouts. That 2.29👆 doesnt all come back to me.
I get 2.29.75 = 1.7175 Steem Token Units.
1.71750.5= .85875 SBD back for this vote
.85875/steem price = amount of steem i recieved on this post.
I wasnt paying close enougn attention and was unable to recover my initial investment back, probably would have recovered all of the SBD I put in if I didn't make the second .5 SBD vote on this bidding round.
Current total vote value of upmewhale bot is 50.25USD or 7.64 SBD.
Positives: Bot payout is slightly higher than what is quoted.
Negatives: Kind of popular so watch your ROI.
For all future reviews I will use the SBD to SBD comparison to make it easier.
Fine print:
This information was accurate at time of posting, but there is a possibility that the bot owner has changed their code in between when I wrote this and you read it. I will try to keep these up to date but do your diligence before bidding.
I will give you the caution that whenever you use bid-bots you should be prepared to loose part of your investment as people can vote after you and bring your share of the rewards pool down. Always check how the bot performed last round, compare it to how they paid out before you bid and be prepared to potentially loose your investment.
