Crystal has given me a load of info on bots, which I am trawling through.. because I am interested.
 
From what I can gather, its pretty safe to say that bots are not sophisticated enough to be playing poker at higher stakes.. so lets use 50NL as the cut off point.
 
So lets assume a bot making 1BB/100 at 50NL
 
Thats about 50c per hour (assuming 50 hands per hour)
 
Now a bot could play 10 tables at a time per account.
 
That makes it $5 per hour.
 
To fool the poker sites, bots would have to play a reasonable number of hours a day.. no human can play 24/7 so lest play 6 hours a day for 5 days a week.
 
That gives $150 per week.. per account.
 
Multiple accounts are possible by the use of anonymous proxies or anonymous VPN clients.. so I don't know 10 separate bank accounts isn't really stretching it too far.
 
So by those crude calculations.. a figure of up to $1500 per week i possible via botting.
 
Not a bad little earner really!!!
 
These bots are going to play very poor tight nitty poker.. so the question, which Zach is probably one of the best people to answer.. is this
 
Is it possible to grind out 1BB/100 at up to 50NL playing very tight nitty ABC poker?
 
As for the legality of bots... they are not illegal.  they are against the terms and conditions of poker sites, but their usage would never land you in court.
 
These are just my findings from doing some research.
 
How many bots are there out there?  Thats probably a question we will never be able to obtain a true answer on.
