Apologies if this is in the wrong area of the comping section but i've noticed that since using a hotmail address to enter competitions i've not had a single win. This has been for best part of this year.
Just wondered if all you compers out there have noticed this ?.
Anyone else use a hotmail type address to enter and won ?
Thanks in anticipation.

I've never won a thing on any internet comps and have entered thousands, I have only ever had a hotmail address. Now you've got me thinking!0

I must admit, I have worried about this too.
I use a combination of my hotmail address and a gmail account !!! Not won a thing !!!0 -
As more and more people seem to be entering the odds of winning are possibly going down?0

I only use my hotmail account for comps and I have won 87 online comps with the address in two years!

Like me, I have a hotmail account that I use for comps and freebies - ie. not personal use. I have won loads of stuff so far this year, so that theory doesn't work as far as I'm concerned:)0
