You can read some of my old posts about curation strategies.
And if you have any questions you can ask me.
I also thought about starting a curation trail. But if you checked my posts you will now why everyone behind me gets very less curation then the one on top of a trail.
What is this "curation league" you are talking about in your posts? Or do you just mean the list by @gropox?
First I thought about following a curation trail, but now my upvote strategy really improved. I'm pretty much doing the strategy from your post "About my 3rd victory in the curation league (part 3)"
You mentioned a strategy with upvoting post tagged with "utopian.io" and "dmania". Here you are betting on an upvote from the @utopian-io or @dmania accounts, right? Or did you recognize a pattern, posts with the tags utopian-io and dmania usually get a higher payout?

And utopian and dmania is indeed betting. Cause I can't be certain upfront that the post week get a huge upvote.
