How so? Never know what to choose

When you select 50/50 you get half paid out in SP and half paid out in SBD (Steembacked dollars).

SBDs are over $6 right now but are still pegged as $1 in terms of Steemit paying out.

So a $30 payout on a Steemit post will get you 15 SBD (minus curation rewards) and the rest in SP.

But those 15 SBD are actually worth $90 right now so you are getting much more USD for your Steemit payouts right now if you choose the 50/50 option.

Hope this helps

Whoa, totally didn’t see your reply @chiefmappster. Could’ve saved myself some time!

Woahhhhhh for real I didn't see yours either. We must have been commenting at the same time haha

Awe lol ;)

That’s fair enough. The 50/50 split pays 50% of the value in Steem Power & 50% in SBD.

SBD is meant to be pegged at $1 so a $100 post gives $50 worth of Steem (Steem/7 Day market average)
& 50 SBD.

The peg is currently broken and SBD is trading at $6.12 as of writing this. The post value estimation doesn’t take this into account so that 50 SBD would be worth $306 + the $50 worth of Steem (Around 8.33 Steem.)

Hope this helps.
