I think this is my karma for 'excessive' use of bid-bots, and writing a post regarding them yesterday...

So I check for a quiet looking @booster wallet this morning (I find it's usually quiet around 10/11am CET) and it's looking pretty good.  Sending $10 is a big thing, but @bellyrub has just given me a $14 (ish) vote so that's all good - good for a reputation boost and perhaps a $1 or 2 'profit' on the amount sent.

Off goes my $10, and off I go to read/comment/reply/up-vote and send some @lovejuice to posts I like the look of today.  A little later, I've opened a beer (cause it's saturday!) and think i'll just check in on the @booster wallet to see what's happening, and what do I see?

## What the @#$% dude!

So I'm assuming this vote is going to command most of @booster's vote this round, but as @booster has a max vote of around $80, surely he's wasted a fat chunk of cash here? Lets see...

Picking things up at 45 minutes, he's already had more attention on this post than many previous efforts.  (It's a nice poem I must admit!)<center>![45.PNG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcDFyYx3ToE4XcvdgMzYLovtG4mSadJbqmhkKuhfHquSy/45.PNG)

Close to the hour, more interest - in the wonderful poem :)<center>![58.PNG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNQTezw9TBB6JbkZEzR5nh2CgvC5um2nr9kEdSP2qUVoS/58.PNG)

An hour has passed, and it's time for that @booster vote...

### Hang on a second.....

###  $70.75 - $5.30 is $65.45

### 65.45 * .75 (rewards slice %) is $49.08

### So for a vote of $488.641, the financial reward is $49.08

# OUCH!

#### Check your sums before sending $$$ to the Bid-bots!
#### Check the wallet of the Bit-bots before you send (in case some crazy fool has thrown $500 at one!)
#### I have some ball-park numbers in [this post](https://steemit.com/bidbot/@abh12345/steemit-bid-bots-are-coming-to-a-post-near-you)
#### 
My $10 sent to @booster today was a total waste, a $1 vote because of this crazy fool! 
#### 
Karma police got me :D
#### 

#### Maybe @booster could be nice and give him a small refund, or give the 'unlucky' punters in this round a vote?!
