how many competitions do you enter? Some people put a lot of hard work into entering many thousands of competitions a month so thats why they win.

Good luck x0 -
It does get frustrating i enter loads every day and had very little success but hang in there,i finally got a win on the mpora vans contest this week!
hope you get a good result soon2010 3,993(nothing in december!)

And my thanks to all the fantastic people who post comps and help each other and have made this a great forum

It's all down to luck. The more you enter, the more likely you are to win 'something', but that might be something you don't want!! You can't expect to win anything...there's no guarantee, even if you enter all the competitions on here. You just have to decide if you're willing to take the chance given the amount of time involved in entering.
just hang in there and think lucky thoughts :-)0 -
I'm still interested and love hearing about other people's wins but my enthusiasm for filling in forms myself has well and truly wained this year.

Awww - don't give up - we all get lean times but you just got to keep trucking on. I don't go in for thousands of comps cos due to family commitments I just don't have the time. I have had my share of good luck but then again this year the prizes are not coming my way. Ho hum - never mind, I just dust myself down and keep on trying:o I'm always optimistic.
The up side is the comps we enter on here are mostly free apart from buying the odd biscuit wrapper etc. What a bonus - all we spend is a wee bit of time entering them. Sometimes its good to enter the comps that require effort - the numbers entering will be somewhat lower and who knows, you could strike lucky!
Keep your pecker up - maybe have a break for a wee while and then come back refreshed and raring to go! Good luck and ..... keep positive!;)MILITARY WIVES CHOIRSHELP for HEROES

Blimey you won Spandau Ballet tickets.......that makes you very lucky in my book :T:T:T0 -
More you enter, more you will win, i enter near 100-200 per day and also do postal/text comps plus effort/entry form comps
i do comping as i love doing it and not solely to get a prize, gives me such a buzz thinking of what i could win, wins are a bonus for me:D
fingers crossed you get a win soon xx0 -
im gonna get into this how long should i spen entering comps and is there anyway to make it easier putting details in etcReplies to posts are always welcome, If I have made a mistake in the post, I am human, tell me nicely and it will be corrected. If your reply cannot be nice, has an underlying issue, or you believe that you are God, please post in another forum. Thank you0

I would say also, don't just enter those with big prizes. Some of the comps for smaller prizes get fewer entries and even a small prize like a book is a nice surprise that cheers you up when you know you have won it.0
