I do not think you understand the mechanism. Simple timing is not the only factor, but REL staked. The first "share" on a post cost the lease, the second costs a little more, the third even more, and so on. So the first share might cost less than 1 REL, but a later share might cost 10. BUT if you only bet 1 or 2 REL your payout will still be less than someone that bet 1,000 but on a per share basis your payout "cost" much less. There are several mechanisms. Please reread my post here in the relevant feed introducing all of this.
