I give up entering comps
Comments

I enter for all comps that I want to win or someone else can benefit from. I do enter the ITV comps but my wins have come in from smaller comps!0

Sorry to hear about your bad run of luck. Just persevere and remember two things....
you have to be in it to win it and it is possible you might not be the winner. If you don't enjoy it and it disheartens you too much then give yourself a break.
Hope your fortunes change for the better.Wish List ~ TV * Game Console * Netbook

I do think theres a filter with aol so be careful if you use them.. Google it - alot of people have probs with them.
I sent an email from my aol to my moms aol to test and it never got there!Do good and good will come to you.0 -

I've been quite lucky since I've been comping, its just over a year now I use gmail and never had a problem, I used oulook express before this and no emails were being sent out as I had been marked as a spammer
for sending so many to the same address for about 2 months and I didnt even know, found out by accident and disabled it, started using gmail and the wins started comming - hth:) Thank you for this site MartinThe time for change has comeGood luck for the future0 -
I agree that the smaller prizes are easier to win and I think you need the small one's to keep you thinking positive.
Would like to add that a 'special' email address (just for comping) stops your main inbox being flooded with spam.
After a not too bad November, I'm now having a dry December not even getting any small wins - has my luck deserted me ?! _pale_Remember
There's no such thing as an idle thought :beer:
Many thanks to :A EVERYONE :A who posts on here.......I :heart2: you guys :kisses3:0 -
Sorry to hear your bad luck with comps, but don't give up. As others have said you need to enter lots. I normally enter about 100 a day and have had quite a few wins, albeit little ones. (I too got my Sally Hansen today :j) I also had a break from comping for a few months, but got back into it and have won some lovely things, so please keep with it, unless you're not enjoying it.
I do it for fun and if I win then that's a bonus.
