I feel the same way sometimes, i have only won 4 small items and have been comping for a over a year now.
I enter daily, hundreds, the only emails i get are advertisements for shopping etc.
Oh, well, never mind.......... wishing you good luck xxx0 -
I completely, 100% advise you to open a Facebook account JUST for comping. I had a very lean year until I opened a Facebook account at the end of October. In the space of 1 month, I had won a £50 Aldi voucher (that's a weekly shop and our regular go-to supermarket), a year's Men's Health subscription, Stella Artois glasses, some small things won from some App games (some of which are very addictive and good fun, like Innocent Smoothie's Fruit Picker game). Then came 2 huge wins in ONE day; a Kenwood mixer worth £400 and a laptop worth nearly £1000. All these goodies I'm using and have really helped my wife and I through what was going to be quite a difficult December. However, how much have I won outwith of Facebook this year?...................pretty much NADA.
I also think Facebook is the way competitions are going. Thus, it's completely up to you but Facebook is a good direction to go in if you want to get yourself back in to the winner's circle. And just look at this year's advents. Perhaps 80% of those I'm doing are all over on FB (the only entry method). They're also very quick and easy on FB. Well, I think easier and quicker than many of the standard sites, where you login/register, throw in your details etc.
I wish you the best of luck and try and not get down, but certainly opening a Facebook account for comping will not harm your chances at all. You will likely see your fortunes change quite quickly. Keep your chin up ;-)0 -

Some people are lucky some aren''t .
I have been doing these comps religiously every day -around 40 per day for around 5 years.
I have had 6 wins in all that time and nothing that good either !0 -
