Thanks. I misunderstood the directions this first round. I thought the “word” was the suffix and I was to use words with that suffix. I have since corrected my entries to follow appropriately. Appreciate the vote!

OK, thanks for revising. Also, it's best if your entry includes at least one sample sentence for each of the target words.

What is the benefit of sending bid in the last 2 minutes? Just for the lose other people money or anything else?

Do you know if you don't get at least 5% ROI then you won't get even your investment back? If you like to lose your money then send $2000-3000 at the beggning of the round, not in the last 2 minutes.

[majes.tytyty]

The benefit is profit. And since my bid was within the “Maximum Suggested Bid,” all bidders profit. As the numbers show.

Please understand that when you make a bid, you take a risk. That’s part and parcel of the bidding process.

Also, please click on the following link and scroll down to read my previous comment about using SteemBot Tracker. That will give you a clearer idea of what's involved in the bidding process on SBT.
