Hi @aaarif,
- Yes 17 is a loss, it should be a minimum of 200%, means if you send 10, then your minimum upvote should be 20, that's the basic guide.
- It's very hard to get 2.5 return. 2x is normal here. Those who sent big, normally have big account, so they could not matter for losing a little bit.
- For me, I play medium style means my bid is between 1-10 SBD. I have little lost and mostly just a small profit. My intention of using bid bot is to get SP for each of my post. When you used bid bot, you get return not only SBD but together with SP, so that's how I increase my SP steadily.
I hope this helps.
