    i always get mixed up, if i have already entered them, but even with them i still couldnt make 200... are there sites you join?

    bit worried about (win 4 now ) ( get me a ticket) etc

    Hi,

    if you press the *THANKS* button on each comp you enter, it dissapears, that way you can be sure that you have entered it previously. ;)

    This is the only site I use, I arrange the comps is date ending and start there and work my way through. I'm only upto about 9th Feb, and still have thousands more to do, so not sure how you are struggling to find comps to do? :)

    A win is a win no matter how small. Hopefully you'll get some more wins soon. :A

  • Well done on your win :D
    A thousand comps isn't really very many so if you still at it I'm sure you'll see more wins coming through.
    My win ratio has been around 1:750 and nearly all have been small prizes. Lots of compers and not enough comps to go round I'm afraid :D
    Good luck :T:T:T
    Thanks to everyone who posts comps, I love winning prizes big and small

    Well done! Never give up either. Some months you may have no wins while others you might have loads. It's still early too so your Jan comps you entered still might come up trumps for you. Good luck.;)
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    I have just had a win from a comp I entered last January. The key to comping is persistence.

    Took me about 3 months to get my first win. Some of the comps dont end for 4+ months some times.
