    should be posted in competions discussion thread carl
    its all relative really some enter loads some neter a few, some win with their first ever comp...keep at it you will win eventually..

    if your only entering for high value prizes remember so are most people...small value prizes like t shirts seem to get less entries so give a better % chance of a win
    thanks basehex was going to do the same

    Be careful that you aren't entering some of the same comps twice sometimes it's only one entry per person/household and they will disqualify you if you re enter :)
    2010 wins= £610. 2011 wins= £66.
