    Totally agree. and I said Never said people are lying :) - I've been 100% honest and listed my wins.. (NO WINS) LOL.

    I think what is annoying people is not that they ain't winning is people who BOAST about wins.. Personally I'd keep my wins quite on a comp like this.. if its a Random hat draw then I'd list what I won with photos etc :)

    Anyway, not hear to cause fights.. my balls are waiting for me.. (that sounded wrong.. the barclay balls LOL)


    I think people came on here to thank OP for posting and to show that they had won due to them posting the comp...not to "boast"

    And i think its quite uplifting when i read people have won....it makes me want to have another spin......it doesnt make me jealous....so no i think you are wrong about that, i do think people should be posting their wins.

    My thoughts anyway :)

    kinaton, I don't know where your figures are going wrong (it's too late to think straight! lol) but they are because I've won 12 prizes in the last 24 hours - 5 in the last hour! It seems to me you're spending so much time trying to figure out the logic, you're limiting the time you're spending spinning the balls. I'd only dabbled in this comp before yesterday because I kept getting errors & found it frustrating but seeing everyone winning spurred me on to give it another try. I seem to have overcome the errors & the wins are finally coming now I'm getting in quite a few entries in per minute. It's just a numbers game, the prizes are definitely still there and like a previous poster, I seem to find they're at set intervals so it might be worth giving up the recording you're doing for a little while to see if you can increase the number of spins you do per minute and hopefully you'll see some wins. :)

    Thanks very much to the OP for posting the comp. :beer:

    I'm off to bed now, I've had enough balls for one night! Night all & good luck.

    23 per minute is pretty fast.

    My figures are correct :) - as I said on average.. a fruit machine pays out 65% of what goes in.. but you could put in 1000 not to get anything out. This kind of comp works the same way.
