In my search for good rewards of bots I have noticed that there are people who are not clear about the functioning of these, that is why I want to publish these little tips for those who throw their resources without calculating if they are really paid or not.
This is just my analysis, everyone can get their own calculations and see if I have reason or not.
The first thing we should know is that a bot does not have unlimited resources, if you think it will triple the resources you invest regardless of the circumstances you are in an error, the circumstances matter a lot.
The first thing you should do is see the profile of the bot on steemnow and know how much a 100% vote of the bot is worth.
If for example a vote is worth 1SBD you know that an automatic loss sending crazy sums> 1SBD, this is an important factor since you must take into account that you would get 1sbd of vote assuming that the bot only one vote and this is for you. Then the second circumstance comes into play, how many votes will the bot give?
The bot will apply a formula to calculate how much each person touches, this formula is {100 / (received)} * (what you sent) based on that formula will give you a percentage of votes.
If for example what was collected by the bot was 20SBD before reaching 100% of the voting power, and of those 20 I contribute 1.5, he will vote for me (100/20) * 1.5 = 7.5 that is to say that I will obtain from the bot a vote of 7.5%, if your 100% vote is 10SBD then it will give me a vote of 0.75 SBD, if I sent 1.5 then I am losing.
To know how much the bot has accumulated, use steemd with the profile of the bot, add up everything you have been sent and you will know if it is good to send or not, and how much would be ideal to obtain profits.
Another detail to take into account is the following:
Your post will share your profits between you and the curators, then there will be 75% for you divided into two parts of 50%, meaning that you receive in SBD only 37.5% of what your post generates. The other 37.5% you receive in SP (but you do not receive much)
Many think that if they send 1 SBD and the bot gives them a vote of 2SBD they are making a profit, I am going to show you no.
It is possible that your post will lose value before being liquidated, but in the best case, if it does not go down, it would be distributed like this:
0.5 SBD for the curators, then there are 1.5 of which you pay 0.75SBD and about 0.2SP, you inverted 1SBD and you stayed with 0.75, did you win something?
So I recommend sending only when you assure that the vote of the bot will triplicate the sent, if for example you send 1 and vote 3 the distribution would be:
0.75 for the curators, leaving 2.25 for you from which you will be paid 1.125 + some SP, if the bot is not going to give you triple or more with your vote I recommend not investing.
Then we review:
1.- Use steemnow to see how much the bot can give with 100%
2.- Use steemd to see how much has been sent to the bot.
3.- Calculation with the amount x how much will I get from the bot in% of vote and then based on the value of your 100% vote, how much does that represent in SBD?
4.- If the result triples my investment then it is a good time to send.
Do not forget to publish quality content, if you publish by publishing counting only with the bots to upload your pots then you are degrading the ecosystem of steemit and you deserve to be on the blacklist.
Good luck, it was a pleasure to share with you!
