    One of the shopping channels (that charges you 20p/min to order from them) plugs one of these, something like "lose24", for £12 a month they enter you in about 40 comps a week.
    You can get that many competitions from a weekly magazine and it would take about 10 mins a month to get the £12 worth of entries. I wonder how many of the entries they make are invalid as quite a few T&C's do not allow automated and/or third party entries.
