    Forget it!

    I've been comping for ten years and have won one Internet comp!

    Try a mix of comps!

    Local Radio.

    Entry Form comps.

    Qulifier Entry Form Comps.

    Tie-Breakers.

    Crosswords.

    Magazine Letter comps.

    Magazine Comps with EF required.

    National Press Comps that require you collect coupons.

    The list goes on and on but just Internet comps not a prayer!

    Remember the harder the comp the easier it is to win!

    Good Luck

    I won on the 3rd Internet Comp that I entered with Bernard Matthews. You have to be in it to win it.

    Many years ago I read that British Rail ran a comp and printed 250,000 entry forms with about 250 prizes. Only 37 people entered the comp.

    If you have the time why not enter as many as you can.

    Used to enter comps on the Radio when I was in Germany with the Forces in late 80's and early 90's.

    In 1990 I won 34 Prizes on BFBS Saturday Sports show. Ranging from tickets to watch:

    Snooker, Met Steve Davis, Jimmy White, Steven Hendry, Barry Hearn. Worked at 2 matchroom snooker events as a result of that doing the scoring.
    Basket Ball,
    Season Ticket for the Frankfurt Galaxy (American Football Team)
    Belgium Grand prix Tickets.
    Football

    also a VCR, Books, T shirts, Malboro Racing Jacket and Champagne.

    Only enter comps now if I have some spare time eachday.

    I've won 3 internet comps which were a Nintendo DS, a weekend in Edinburgh and a DVD of Stealth. The way I see it is that they are free to enter, someone has to win by law and that someone could be you so I usually enter them all. The only comps I dont enter are things like skiing holidays, health spa weekends and make overs. Just isnt my scene.
