hi wondered if my yahoo email address is stopping me winning/??

is that a silly question....would love to know your opinion ,been comping since oct '09 and no wins.....want to give up as feel I am wasting my time?
is it better to comp with a gmail,or hotmail?

thankyou

I use a yahoo email and don't feel it affects the chances of winning - although wins are very slow this year.

Honey. Dont give up, I started 2007 took 3 months to get my first win, 3 finger puppets Huh (but a win) then I had odd lippy, foundation,face creams, 6months later first winning phone call. (WTC)£150 of Beef, then winning emails (WEMs) £500 La redoute online shop. Now have front room TV, 2 little ones in bedroom, vacuum cleaner, flip camera, sony camera, iron,kettle, toaster, coupla handy cheques, wins list goes on, not bragging, it has been 3 years really dedicated work, sometimes up early hours, late nights losing sleep for a specific comp but I am retired and this is my way of getting bits I want, need, cant afford, plus 9 Grandkids Christmas presents. The more you enter the more chance you have. I enter around 100 ish up or down a day. reckon hit rate 1 win per 1000 ish. Stick at it hun, you wont look back.

Hi Folks,


I have been comp'ing for near 6-7 months and all I have won is a small tub of Nivea . I am not being greedy just curious, I see peoples omments and how much they have won and just wondering if there is something I am been missing.

I enter all the competitons for each day ( not the dailys tho) apart from the ones I know if I win I cant get to - Ie london etc .

But after all this time I thought I would have a couple of wins.

Does anybody have any advice?:(

Def do the dailies! set up a seperate folder and stick them in there as u come across them, I've had 3 wins this week from them, so it really does pay to do them.

I have approx 45 dailies bookmarked and do them all at start of day before i move on to the main board xx
good luck

How many do you do?I did about 20,000 last year plus the Take a Breaks & Puzzlers.Most of my wins are in my signature so you can the win ratio.You need to have luck but getting the entries in quantity should up the wins but there are no sure ways.Good luck.

Can you use the sticky threads for general questions please:)

I have a question, I have a competition running on my facebook page which I would like to let mse'rs have a chance to win.

I know I'm not allowed to post my own comp on here, is there away I am allowed to let get it added, ie through a bg?

Have had a look and know i have seen the answer to this before but can't find it now.

:eek::eek::eek: I only do the dailies ONCE ever (except the sugar one as it requires different codes everyday. I've really got to pull my finger out
