Don't worry.I'm sure they will come.before I started comping on here I used the prizefinder site and hadn't heard of roboform.My only win then was a trip to New York for five nights so it can happen.

The past 2 years have been great, especially last year, but this year so far is just pants - I think my luck has finally run out! :rotfl:

I think the whole things is a bit misleading in the way it's been put together. It's very flowery and puts comping forward as if it's a really great idea for anyone. To get to the hard work side of it takes quite some scrolling down and I think if you did that poll again with realistic figures you'd find that most of us enter 50+ a day (for myself and a few others who have the time it's probably a lot higher than that) and that 50 a week isn't really going to be very effective unless you are incredibly lucky. the only reason that had a high vote was it was the top amount!

Short-n-Sweet

I have to agree Munchkim it sounds all very wonderful. lol

Its a very time consuming "hobby", well it is for me anyway
You could comp for months and month and win NOTHING of much value.

Exactly right.Since the the end of March I've entered about 5000 comps, and that does not include mulltiple enties for ITV,GMTV.Tab and Puzzler so it takes time and effort.

I must admit, it takes a lot of time and dedication. I couldn't do it aswell as working! There is no possible way I would win anything. I put every minute of my spare time into it xx

Prudent

I thought it was fairly balanced. I liked the hourly returns breakdown at £1.14 an hour. I know some people have found this year a lot tougher, with far fewer prizes. I have had my best six months for 'biggies' , but miss the constant little prizes like dvds and books which saved me a lot on pressies.

I think many people will try, but become disheartened with the lack of wins. I have done this hobby for years and it is definately getting a lot harder to win. I simply love the spirit on the forum and the hope of something in the post after a long hard day at work.
