    I have won nothing since November last year (a pack of Toy Story playing cards!) and I have entered thousands. :(

    I must be due a big one :A:rotfl:

    That's really good treacle! (Now am even more depressed lol)

    Please take into account that I have no social life whatsoever due to the amount f time I spend at my laptop. x

    Most of my wins have been little ones - less than £5 value.
    Not really comping any more as too ill - but hoping to win £1000+ in 2017 in cash prizes - watch this space!

    Well, I've been playing for about 3 years now. Roughly 30 comps a day which makes, lets say 10000 entries, and I've won..... 15 times.
    So my ratio is pretty diabolic... 666 ;)
    When I take into account value (total of approx £1500), I've won 15p for every entry.
    I'm not the luckiest I reckon...maybe because I was born on Friday 13th!

    How do you make sure that you do not duplicate entries when using four comp sites ?

    Good stuff Goblin36
    I'm not bad on recalling things but I'd have a problem tracking my 20,000 entries per year in my head.MSE will have to do for me.

    I only consider this as a hobby, something to do between job hunting ;)

    I enter for things I'd like to win mostly. I've entered around 1800 so far this year..this doesn't include Twitter ones that start and end the same day and all the photos on FB that I get tagged on. (thanks CornishP and MuckyMoo and others!)
    Plus all the magazine ones - Korky / TTTJay / kittycatty /hjb etc :A
    I try to do dailies too - I have links on my spreadsheet but sometimes forget these or get to the point where I can't be bothered!
    I also enter the Times+ comps that are not posted on here as its subscriber only. I've won an iPod touch from them.
    I won the Eyedew by staying up until midnight and clicking as one of the first 50 for the day!
    Greggs are easy to get vouchers for and are only BOGOFs.
    The book I won by asking a question on Twitter about 10 mins before the comp closed!
    Mikado comp is still going.

    If I win, I win, if I don't I don't let it get me down!

    Comping keeps me busy and resonably sane..:cool:

    Don't worry about winning just let it happen!
    Thanks to those that post the comps!!
