I was cheated. Are you being cheated too? Like you, I was a BTC reader (stalker) for a while but never joined until last week. Like you, I held off and off worried about the cost to join or purchase a manual,seminar. You see, I fell prey to David Gunas and his bs and promises. So yes I was burned by fake Internet schemes. I researched BTC and Ellis on the Internet-some were positive nice things and some were not so nice things posted. Even an ex student turned on him. So I was worried about it for the longest time. I then read a post by Ellis in which he said-" look if I search hard enough, I can find negatitive things said about anyone on the Internet" A lightbulb went off....how true is this...you can find negative things about anyone... Then I thought about his years he spent beating the casinos, the knowledge he has gained, and his integrity and character towards helping others..read this as helping others. I read his posts after posts....and realized this guy is the real deal....he doesn't have to want to help others....he knows how to win...but yet he does ( personally I owe him a steak dinner from the knife and fork in AC). So guess what I joined.... And my first outing I ROCKED the hard rock in south Florida + 11, then +9 , then +19 Day 2 and I ROCKED them again and 7 times i multiplied back my investment. So listening to the negative posts, blogs etc was just a way from keeping me from learning from Ellis and the amazing members here on BTC. I was cheated out of several years of winnings shoes by listening to someone else's negative rants about Ellis and BTC. I was in your shoes worried about my investment..... Now I know the real truth.... Yes I admit I was nervous, scared but took that plunge. I was cheated cheated cheated out of true winnings. So now I ask you non-members....are you being cheated too?
