  • Stay positive, you may already be a winner. One day something could turn up unexpected.

    All my wins have been quite little so far, but even with the smallest it's a great feeling. Maybe try to enter more of the instant win games, most of my wins have come from these comps!

    Hi darcyvuqua :hello:
    Yes that is a good question. But you've posted in the main comps board (only for comps). So it will probably be moved. The 'Competitions Discussion Thread' or the 'The Compers Inn' is a good place for these sort of questions.
    Personally I see doing comps a bit like paying the lottery
    "Dear Sir
    I have been playing your lottery for some years now and have not been awarded the jackpot! This is clearly an oversight, but I can't help but notice that this weeks EuroMillions is £92 Million. So under the circumstances if I was to win this one I could overlook your obvious mistake."
    Yours

    now where did I put my medication :p
    No but really, I have won some stuff but put in a lot of hours and I'm not sure how it stacks up.
    Well yes I am - just from my point of view - if you can pop in and do some comps when you have free time then any win is a great bonus. But if you have a good job etc.., I would think it doesn't really pay in terms of time.
    There again, this board has some great contributors and you can have good laugh :j

  • I don't think comping is a good hobby for people who just want to win stuff...it's too unreliable. I enjoy the process of doing the comps but the best part for me is seeing what everyone else won. I just love it!
    Thanks to everyone who posts comps, I love winning prizes big and small

    I think this I won section is very important.. I LOVE reading what others have won and from which comp.. makes me comp even more :D
    :cool:
  • Love coming here and seeing what everyone has won too, especially when one of the biggies, such as the ITV comps, go to MSErs!

    There's a great community spirit in the comping forums! :D

    how do you find the instant win that you were on about james
    you cant change yesterday
    but you can make tomorrow better
  • One that is still running is the batman comp which you can enter everyday, I won 15Euros worth of iTunes vouchers from that, but there are cameras and holidays to be won also.

    http://www.batman-jackpot.com/

    Not sure that there are any other free instant win comps running at the moment.

    Aside from that. look through Gila's Daily's in the Regular Comps forum because you can enter them more often, surely increasing your chances of winning!

    And if you see competitons that require you to register on a site, if you think it's worthwhile then register and enter the comp. I think the registration process buts some people off so, again, I think if you bother with it your chances are increased!

    Just some ideas, hope this helps! :D
