Here's my response:
> What really counts is cash-in-hand.
Did you read what I wrote about taking out cash?

I've taken about $100,000 in cash from SG, $15,000 from VBT, and $50,000 from BIG.
Have you read any of the materials on BigBooster.com related to understanding money-making programs and how to deal with them?
Do you try to understand the programs you're in, and their current status, or do you just try to play them blindly?
> Until the money is in my account I don't count it.
> The games have proved embarassing to me and my referrals.
> Produced nothing but confusion, frustration and anger.Maybe that's partly because you didn't use analytical thinking skills to assess situations and what your actions should be, given current and developing situations.

> but since the SG, VBT and BIG debacles I don't know what to think.I suspect you haven't really been thinking effectively enough and you need to improve your thinking skills. One of the most ineffective and futile things you can do is to blame someone else for actions you took because of a failure on your part to think and analyze sufficiently.
Among other things, I've over and over indicated to people on this list that for best results they should focus on the programs rated high on the Risk Meter. I started indicating SG weaknesses on this list about seven months ago. I think one of the debacles here has been the failure on the part of some players to properly think and analyze before they act.
