i agree with little holly about number of people increasing
when i first started thanks was 100-200 depending on prize now it can be up to 500

Definitely. Some of the itv comps have had up to 800 / 900 thanks from registered users :eek:

Am I wrong for being a bit miffed by the figures on this thread (the coffee one)

I know none of us post comps to get thanks but the figures seem a bit off:o

Hi,
I'm quite new to this whole comping thing been doing it for a few months entering everything I can off here but won nothing. I'm starting to get a bit disheartened. I was wondering if there were any hints and tips off you lovely people who regularly win

Is there anyway of increasing my chance of winning?
Any good comp sites I should be entering etc.

Any help will be appreciated

Most important thing: How many comps do you enter per day?

Well i come on here normally around 4:00pm and spend around 2 hours entering any new comps that have been added while i haven't been online

Just remember that a lot of the comps that you have entered probably won't even have closed yet. Even if they have it sometimes takes weeks / months for the promoters to contact winners and send out prizes. I've had prizes turn up before for comps that had ended months and months earlier and by that time I'd fogotten that I'd even entered.

Obviously the more you enter, the higher chance of winning. There has been a huge increase in people entering comps recently so the odds of winning are far lower than used to be. Basically, apart from entering as many as possible, theres not really much else you can do. Do you enter the dailys, weeklys and monthlys (in regular comps thread)? Also, theres the postal thread too if you don't mind buying stamps!

What on earth will I do with myself? :eek: :eek:

I've been entering as many as I can I was just wondering if there was some kind of trick as I see people win on here very regular and wondered if i was missing something. Is there any trick to the instant wins? or just pure luck?
