Ive been entering competitions since mid August. I have entered probably 2000 competitions and to date won nothing. And yet i keep seeing people posting "3 wins today" or "5th this week!"

:hello:,
Just enter as many competitions as you can as that is the key and I hope you will win some wins soon,I havent had a win since August of my cd but I keep entering as many as I can and just keep my fingers crossed,just entered a postal one today from Pick me up magazine and sent it off this afternoon.
Good Luck for future wins
love and light,

Cross your fingers (not when typing, however).
Buy a rabbit's foot.
Get some salt in and throw it over your shoulder as you hit 'Submit'.
Cross your legs (but not when sat on the loo).
Bribe the comp runners.
Keep at it - and enjoy it, or you'll get demoralised.
Fingers crossed for you (after stopping typing).Al Mac Appreciation Society No. 188

I think the same.I started comping just before you and only since september have i been counting the number of comps i enter. I have entered thousands and the most i have won are some concert tickets. But thats it nothing else.
I get a bit deflated when i see the kind of posts your talking about but it also spurs me on to keep trying as those prizes are out there!
I guess the thing is not to give up and not to take it too seriously as if you do you will only get annoyed.
good luck!!!0 -
Just enter as many as possible and hope you win some. I enter most of the comps ending the next day and oftern do daily comps as well. The big snap has been good to me this month, maybe you could try that0

agree just enter what you can and you will win. Some months I win one or two things then others can have some big wins!HUGE THANKS TO MAXIMOUSE THE HAMSTER ANGEL..GOOD KARMA IS COMING TO YOU!
Managed to get Pipsqueak ,Chunk ,Num nums,a house,car,skateboard,slide,wheel, handmade carriers and beds x2, orange go go carrier and a ball:j:j0 -
Just keep on entering as many as you can, your luck will change and the wins will start. I started in February of this year and my family thought that it was one big joke however their smiles were wiped from their faces when i won a large sum of money from the itv competitions in july . Now they look for anything with a competition on and they all get really excited when the postman turns up. i have had some months when i haven't won a thing but seeing the items that other compers have won really spur me on. I also find that when i do win I have two or three wins together and can then go for weeks with nothing so keep perservering and the very best of luck to you.:D:j0

keep at it, enter as many as you can, even my 4 yr old wins at least once a month now:D, the more you enter the more chance you have of winning, dont forget there are daily comps, weekly, and monthly aswell as all the comps that are posted every day:D
and apparantly the postal and postcard comps are a good one to do at the minute:j:Dto be updated:;)0 -
Just enter comps for fun. Don't think about winning.
I personally don't enter as many as I could - I try and just enter for things that I actually want.
I've only had one biggish win (digital camera) and i've been comping since June. I won nothing for 3 months and now I've gone back to not winning again!
I think there are lots of people who don't win much because there are more compers than there are competitions. There are (potentially) thousands of people chasing just a small number of prizes.
Just enjoy :jThanks to everyone who posts comps, I love winning prizes big and small

i have been lucky this week, having won five but the last couple of months had nothing at all. but i do quite alot. about 1000 a week. i only enter the one's i want to win. i probably wont have anything for a while. and another thing is alot i entered to start with take along time to there finish date so dont give up.
xpositive thoughts give positive outcome.
:A good luck to all of you. xx0
