Been comping 4 months no wins

Options
Hi,

Been comping on here for 4 months now, and haven't won anything. Starting to get a little discouraged, but reading the stories in here no only spurs me on to continue, but cheers me up hearing the prizes go to deserving MSE's.

keep it up.

    How many are you entering? And is it every day, or just the occasional one?

    Good luck!

    Hi

    Try not to get too discouraged, i felt like that, i was comping every day for 12 months and didn't win a thing!

    Then this year i have won 4 small items and today some tickets to doncaster races

    I know to some that might not seem a lot but it really cheered me up, keep entering and you will win something eventually.

    Good luck xx

    Keep going and enter as many as you can as often as you can. You could win at any time - maybe even in the next five minutes!

    As hazyjo says it depends how many you enter (and what comps you're entering). If you've been comping for 4 months, but for example only entered 10 comps, then your odds of winning are very low!!!! Especially if the prizes are high value items/cash.

    I estimate that in 4 months I will have entered somewhere around 5,000 - 8,000 competitions. I enter between 50 - 150 a day. It really is true the more you enter the more chance you have of winning. Don't get discouraged, persevere and the wins will come.
    :T*Thanks to all who posts comps * :j
