i just came from steembot tracker, after placing a bid and noticed one of the bots just took half of everyones money somehow. kind of fitting (just randomly clicking on your name, and your post) as I clicked on your name by chance from the bid roster, and it shows you lost half your bid. how is this allowed? I thought it extra ironic since your post had to do with not concentrating on the negatives. im pissed off for you, though! wth?
I'm not mad at all. You win some rounds and in other rounds too many people put in bids. And you lose. I win more often than not!
Thank you for the concern though
im just wondering if you know why? everyone on the round lost money? Ive noticed there are some bots that never do that and some that do. ill NEVER use those bots again if i see that. not good at all for the community. thats alot of money to lose to a whale, when you invest so much into it. I can understand some winners and losers, but not every single bidder. just doesnt make sense to me.
When there are too many bidders in one round, everyone loses. If the bot has a $400 vote and the bids add up to more than that, everyone is going to lose as the bot will distribute the votes across the bidders. Also, on that bot they have a frontrunner which votes first and so that helps also.
After I promoted this post it received several votes from people who might not have seen it otherwise. Don't play with the bots if you expect to win everytime. That isn't how it works.
okay, well some other bots put you in the next round instead of making everyone lose. im still learning bout this, because i believe in bots especially for the newbies or people trying to get established, but all bots definitely are not equal. anyways thanks for the replies, and the post!
