I see where you come from, but I cannot follow your math.
If your bot plays on silver 3 and its a good one it will do 2 chests per day. Giving ypu roughly 0.25$ on average. In addition you get the end saeson rewards and more important you get the dec from your battles.
So the daily gain is much higher.
For sure you need to invest a bit. I for myself have currently around 60k in collection power. To much for silver 2 to less for silver 1 but perfect for silver 2 plus a bot with silver 3.
I started it last friday with only a few cards and now upgraded to 15k cp. I am really currious how it will go.
I will blog regularly about it so if you are interested feel free to follow me on peakd.
Hi Kheldar,
True, i did not calculate the Season reward into the equation. That changes the Break even to maybe 60 days instead of 90.
The DEC from the battles i chose not to calculate into it due to most of the bots i am seeing are renting in cards and running for 24 hours every 3-4 days roughly so i think the DEC gain is minimal.
The way you run it is a totally different story compared to most, as you wont the assets on the bot and are not renting the cards in, that makes it of course a totally diffrent thing. There is a certain investment in equipping the bot with 15K CP and the correct setup of cards the bot will use, but that is in my opinion much more viable option due to the fact that if everything else fails, you still own that asset you have delegated/transferred to the bot.
I have followed you and looking forward to see how it develops :)
