  • Been comping for over 3 weeks now . I am not working and i probably spend most of the day just entering LOADS of comps .

    But not won a single thing yet . And yet , i see loads of people winning in the WON section .

    I keep a list of comps ive entered because i dont want to enter them twice to void the entry . Also i know when they have finished also because i note it . Loads have finished , and i mean LOADS and still NOTHING .

    Makes me think is it worth it ???

    how many do you enter in a day? I haven't won anything for a while now but I still carry on cause it is worth it when you get a win but I was comping for longer than 3 wks when I had my 1st win

    I'll pm a BG to move this to discussion.
    I think you just need to be patient & lucky.Three weeks is very recent & most of the comps will still be live or the prizes will not have been sent out.
    Just see it as fun & the winning as a bonus.
    Re keeping a list just enter via MSE,click entered & thanks and you'll not duplicate an entry.

    Three weeks is nothing. I enter 100 to 150 a day and often win nothing for weeks/months. I find competitions are like buses ... nothing comes along for a while, then you get a few arrive at once icon7.gif

    Remember that hundreds/thousands of people are also entering the comps. you are ... eventually you will win something.
    Wins since 2009 = £17,600

    MANY THANKS TO ALL OPS

    Do i need this , or shall i just get rid of it and hope to be caught off guard sorta thing ?

    I'll be honest & say that 10-20 per day is a small amount in relation to lots one here.
    Last year I entered about 20,000 comps excluding ITV,TAB multiples.
    I won a few things but nothing staggering.The year before I did better with my top win being a holiday to Vancouver.

    It took me about a month for my first win of a book, and that was after entering around 100+ a day for that amount of time. I almost gave up thinking I was unlucky but i am so glad I didn't as I've had some great wins since then. I'd say keep going! You will win something sooner or later.

    I'd just forget about the list.Click thanks & entered on here.If the wins come they come :-)
    Having a list just slows things down.Have you got Roboform?
