    Not from the postal routes that I am aware of, had just posted this before I saw your post

    Postal entry limits are the same as the other entry routes, in this case 29 (From the first post "Maximum 29 entries per person, per entry method (Postal/Text/Phone)" )

    Just commented on the other post but thought it was relevant here too.

    But you need to remember that with the free online route people could enter as many times as they like (phone numbers permitted). I read somewhere that someone was entering ITV comps with 30+ different numbers :eek:

    I used to enter using two (home & mobile) and max the both. Now I send 1 postcard, if I catch the comp in time. Not a lot of people on these boards are willing to spend 60p odd on a stamp to enter, so therefore, the odds of someone on this forum winning is very small :(
    Thanks to all posters :A

    I used to enter the ITV comps online using the max number of entries, and 3 telephone numbers (rising to 4 when my son joined in). I won Real Deal twice.


    I now enter by postcard, usually sending around 3 per comp depending on the prize (I send more if it's a high prize). So far I've won nothing.


    I would have thought us compers (MSErs) are the people most likely to be entering and the ratio of MSE winners shouldn't be any different to before.


    Maybe we have less winners because there are less comps? There doesn't seem to be as many as there used to, for example Real Deal often have just one comp running across a whole week.

    "I would have thought us compers (MSErs) are the people most likely to be entering and the ratio of MSE winners shouldn't be any different to before."

    Not a snowballs chance that most entries come from people on here, the majority of entries (by far) will be from SMS or phonecall and that's not what people on here are likely to do (or at least not to the maximum number of entries).

    That's why there's not many winners using the free postal route, they're massively outnumbered so statistically the odds are seriously against there being a postal winner.

    It was more likely using the online entry method as we'd all enter the maximum number of times per phone number used (which was cheating if we're honest).
