The asker's comment:

thank you for your help, but your answer doesn't really feel like the answer I was looking for: 'dar uma no cravo, outra na ferradura' doesn't mean 'to receive no reward for one's pain'. It means something like 'to play the devil's advocate'... but thanks for your prompt answer. If you find another answer, please do tell me!
