Thanks for your input. But I don't understand what you are trying to say. Clearly, if you look at the "Bid Value" of each bidder, and compare that with the "Vote Value," everyone is in profit. In fact, the biggest bid earned a profit of over $8.

I realize one cannot always make a profit from the bid bots, but with a bit of study and regular bids, one can do quite well in the long run.

And as for always making the highest ROI (in this case, of 25%), it's very rare that any bidder can make such a profit. In fact, it's almost unheard of.

It's great when one can do so, but to expect it, and to expect that certain Steemians will refrain from bidding just so that others can get a guaranteed 25%, is rather presumptuous.
