Ya, the bots work. It usually makes your post stand out more. Your post can be found by more people because with so many post done by other users it usually gets buried lol. The bots work as advertisers :))
The short way to calculate that is for example if the total amount of sbd in a post is 100 sbd...first times it by .75 (75%) will get ya 75 sbd (other 25% is to pay the people that upvote your post , for curators) then divide that in half and will get you 37.5. The 37.5 is the amount you will get for steem dollars and the other half you have to divide 37.5 / by whatever the current steem coin is worth. That would be the amount going into your steem power.
btw, is good to upvote other post that have a high amount of sbd in less than 30 minutes...I usually go to the HOT tab where you find the post with most sbd in a short period of time. This way you get paid by upvoting post. I usually upvote about 7 post at 100% in the HOT tab section.
I dunno if you visited the bot site (link below) , when you buy the upvote from a bot it will show you if you make a profit. Click on the detail tab and look through the list and find an amount they paid and you will see if you making a profit.

Oh so that’s another plus. But I guess what I am wondering is, if you send a bot $5 SBD, will you get more or less back from the vote they provide?
