Yeah I sent my transaction when the suggested was still around 30 Steem, I sent in 20 Steem. When my transaction went through it was overbid. I don't like losing money either but it happens a lot on bidbots with people bidding last second.
The difference between our transactions were less than a minute and things aren't instant, especially on the bot tracker website.
Losing money is the risk you run when you're using these bidbots, but the point isn't to earn money from them, the point is to promote your posts! Personally, if it gives me reach I don't mind losing 10.59% after curation.
I know what you're trying to say, basically don't overbid. But what I'm saying is that it's hard sometimes when it's not instant and there's only 30 seconds left on the bot. I checked the suggested bid, it was around 30 something Steem so I bid 20 Steem, within the last half minute much more than 30 Steem was bid which is why it went over.
please help me understand cause I am probably doing the same thing, I didnt even know there was ways to do it , i probably have costed people money unknowingly then as well, I just look for one i can afford and then put in whatever never really thought about it
Basically you know how there's a suggested amount to bid? Don't bid more than the suggested amount! If you do, you're losing money for yourself and other people who bid.
However, sometimes it can be a bit hard to predict. In the time it takes you to make a bid, there may be many others who also make a bid which means your bid goes over the limit, thus making everyone lose money. This happened to me twice today which is why this @marketstack guy is so upset.
Ah i see, I don't think I ever had more than the suggested amount to bid yet. I am still trying to figure out which ones give me the best payouts for my moneys worth, Good to know though thanks
if you need help understanding the math of bidding i will help you
but you're bidding for votes like an asshole right now
