Betting on the winning horse so to speak should get you something extra. That is what some people on Steemit said it seems or so I thought. If there is no extra percentage pool for getting in before others, than what is the point of voting before others? Is their no advantage of voting before others?

How to vote on Steemit and some wrong ideas about voting
Well, looking at the source code, I don' see any sign of bonus reward for betting on the right horse.
Voting rewards are calculated based on
rshares. Andrsharesare calculated based on your VESTS (steem power), your voting power and your voting percentage.Maybe it is just a rumor and anyone believes in it.

Oh, maybe I have details twisted in my head. So, you may not get rewarded more money for betting on bigger horses so to speak.... you are probably right with the rewards, but are you not rewarded more reputation which then in turn could help you get more VESTS later on maybe directly or indirectly..... because of how reputation grows???? And more reputation could at least mean some may upvote you more if your reputation is a bigger number which then leads you to getting more money later on because of how reputation can encourage people to throw money at you more so than to throw money on somebody with a reputation of like 12 or -4 for example, right?

Reputation is another story which I haven't read much about.
But for the curation rewards, that is all the facts. That's why I wrote this article to clear some misleading concepts and rumors.

Reputation and curation have to intersect.

They DON'T intersect if you read the source code of steemit.
I don't deny that voting can affect both rewards and reputation. However, in this article, I just analyze the effect on the rewards.
The effect on reputation will be analyzed on another article.
