  • I only have 20 per page too. Never tried to change it myself.

    When I said 50 was only two pages I meant roughly.

    Just done another page of 20...so thats 60 comps in just under an hour.

    I enter about 150-250 most days too and have a constant flow of wins (mostly small but few huuuge ones!) and I get just as excited at the small ones!
    I sit down when the children are in bed and do it whilst watching TV and you soon get through them :)
    Keep at it-the more you enter the more you win!
    Wishing you lots of luck xxxxxxx
    Best win; South Africa World Cup package.

  • LOL I'm going to put in a few more hours before bed tonight. :)

    Does anyone else think that believing you will win makes a difference to your win ratio?

    I honestly believe I will win every comp I enter...it sounds a bit airy fairy I know, but it works for me.

  • I find the website a bit confusing to work out so I think i miss quite a few competitions because when I log in I don't really see how there can be 300 competitions to enter. The way I do it is after I finish I mark the forums read then when I next log on I go to the page where the new ones begin. Thats normally 8 pages. I think i enter the majority of the comps and that's like 75 most, so I really don't know where you find 300!

    Do you not sort the comps by date before entering them becca?


    I mean there are literally thousands of comps to enter on this site if you want to enter them far in advance?

    No wouldn't know how!
  • No wouldn't know how!

    See my post on the first page #7 and read the comping guide...invaluable advice and well worth the time it takes to read. Follow the advice in that guide and you will up your win ratio and get the most out of the time you are using to enter comps.

    I promise. :)

    You don't have to enter lots to win although obviously you increase your chances.
    Smaller competitions and those with more than one prize on offer give you the best chance of winning something.

    I enter nothing like the number some do (I have just been through the comps ending 20 and 21/11 and entered a grand total of 10), but I am happy with the prizes I have won (apart from the lack of a big cash win).
