Competitions Discussion Thread Part 8

I enter between 75-200 per day and I went the whole of June, July and August without a win. I won around £350 worth of stuff in September and just under £200 worth of stuff in October.

It's just luck. I've personally found winning anything very difficult and I've NEVER won money...

I just enjoy doing the comps and seeing what others have won :j

I enter the competitions due to end the next day and postal comps as well as doing big snap in my free time and have won loads of stuff since I first started comping at the end of may. Its purely down to chance but the more you enter, the more chance of winning you have.

I have been comping since the end of July and I havent won a thing, however I enjoy it and always remain hopeful that something will come.

I also just enjoy reading about everyone elses wins and sharing in their excitement. :T

You've won loads of stuff lately Muffy0. What's your secret?

I've never really had a big win. The best thing I've won is my digital camera and all my other wins have been mostly little things.

I want some of your good luck

I dont know. I enter all comps, then my hubby enters ones that dont have a household limit
I have been playing big snap a lot so I guess I was bound to win on that at some point. I think its just a lucky streak. Nice though, just in time for christmas

I can't cope with Big Snap and I admire anyone who can play it for longer than 5 minutes at a time

Hope your lucky streak continues :beer: :beer: :beer:

I have entered too many to count and hardly won anything lol! Had a very quiet October so im crossing my fingers for November!! I think it tends to come in fits and starts and up to now I enter pretty much all the ones I am interested in and have won 2/3 per month but nothing big. Still waiting for that biggie to show up but it never does lol! I agree, you need to treat it as a hobby because there are no guarentees and basically its usually just the luck of the draw.
Good luck hope you get a win soon.

I have been comping since the start of October. I usually enter 50 -150 per day but so far most of them don't end until December/January.
I have had 1 wem but unsure what i have won & won 2 cocktail sets on the Vodkat instant win - 1 off them arrived today. The others have been £50 thomas cook vouchers or money off at play.com through the Heinz comp maybe i will get a big prize soon but really enjoying comping - winning is just a bonus

Enter as many as you possibly can. The wins will come ......( the prizes may actually take a little longer to show up), but hey it's all good fun!:T

I have been comping for about 2 years, you need to try and enter as many as you can, but never expect to win, I have gone without winning for about 2 months and was very disheartened, but then as soon as you get a win it gives you the motivation again. Within the 2 years I have done pretty well. But I find its best never expect it - but I do seem to have a feeling when I wake up that I will receive a WEM or one through the post, any-one else????
