If you are looking to make a little extra cash from your Steemit upvotes there are a few accounts that you need to be following. All of these accounts will pay you back in either SBD, Steem or Steem Power for your upvote. You will receive above and beyond the normal curation rewards. There is absolutely no risk involved and if you are spending any time on Steemit looking to make a little extra money then there really isn't a good reason you shouldn't be following them.
This is probably the most popular and consistently high paying account on my list. Well consistent if you are good. The basic premise is sports betting with your upvote being a wager. You upvote the post and then upvote only one comment for the outcome you predict. If you win then you will be sent an even split from the pool in the form of Steem Power.
From SteemSports: Ultimate Vote Betting (Mass SP Distribution Project)
Unlike traditional Sports Betting, no money will be required to take part in SteemSports, the power of the Steem blockchain is that the blockchain produces a daily pool of funds, the community then votes on content they deem worthy and in doing so are voting to allocate a portion of the daily pool rewards to that content, the more personal Steem Power the voter has, the more influence the voter will have on the allocation of the funds.Just as Steemit is an unconventional social media platform, so is SteemSports innovating in the realm of Sports Betting with its coined phrase “Vote Betting”, which refers to the unique mechanics of how it will differ to ordinary stake casting.
Each article features and promotes various high quality posts from around the Steemit community. The proceeds from upvoting these posts are split between the featured authors from the post and accounts that upvote the post.
From Introducing: The Vote Interest Pool (VIP) Project
VIP in a new project and an initiative to reward voters for... well... voting. You are already given this from the 25% deducted from post rewards and given to the curators as part of the Steemit platform standard. With VIP, you will be rewarded on top of this.Similar to @steemsports, but the main goal of VIP is to progress the Steemit platform and have more steem/sbd/steempower distributed to everyone. The more everyone one can get, the better.
In order for VIP to be successful, it will need the community's help. As far as I seen here on Steemit, it shouldn't be much of a problem. Almost every user is rethinking how they use a social platform and trying to help Steemit grow. I am confident we can accomplish this and everyone can feel the VIP treatment.
After the initial success of the Fill in The Blank game @bola expanded to a few fun games that give you a chance to win SBD with fun little games on Steemit. Games like guessing how many jelly beans are in a jar, fill in the blank puzzles and word scrambles. Even if you don't win you get a small payout just for participating.

I'm not sure if he's a professional poker player, a gambling addict or even if he is a he. What I do know is I've voted to stake @virtualgrowth in online poker games 3 times now and he's paid out every time. It's pretty simple. Just upvote his "stake me" posts and he will use the proceeds to buy in to a poker tournament that he has pre-announced and you can freely watch. If he wins anything he splits the pot.
