    Yay, just won a football :j

    As mentioned above, seems like the best time to enter is between 10am-10.30am (I entered at about 10.30am), not sure why though :confused:

    Maybe that's when their servers refresh that day's winning codes, or just the time of day when there's a lull in user code entry. :confused:
  • I'm yet to win anything! :(

    Is there any trick to it, like entering codes spaced out or anything? Been playing daily since the start and only managed to win 1 football. Would like a rugby ball and cricket ball to go with it. Just enetered about 20 of my old codes all after the others n didn't win

    I dont know if this helps but I find I win one most nights around 12.05 I just enter around 10 old codes and then try a the new one which usually works. If not just go back to the old codes and try again.

    I had one midnight run just using new codes and won nothing at all and same goes for a friend of mine that exact same night. I think even if there's an edge at 12am onwards and I know there is, it still boils down to some percentage of random luck. It's like rolling dice with twice the number of number 6 faces, sometimes you'll roll a load of winning 6s and at other times not a single one. As anyone knows who's done statistics as a subject, your chances are reset back to zero each single time you roll. Probability maybe in your favour with the extra 6s but it doesn't guarantee you anything. The only thing I am 100% sure of is persistence and a good handful of codes, new or old.
