    Thanks so much for this, I thought I was being stupid when I couldn't do this, obviously just doing it wrong.

    regarding comps like pick me up, wotv, does it really make a difference if you do the bonus entry on fb for each comp you enter? is it worth it?

    The more entries that you do the more chance you have of winning the only thing to consider is do you have the time to do multiple entries?

    there are so many comps these day's on mse that if you do multiple entries or go back each day to do another entry it could mean that you might miss out on entering other comps

    I myself don't really do that many comps now but when I did I tried to enter every comp posted on mse with great success I may add, however I then tried doing multiple entries to the comps that allowed it and found that I couldn't keep up with all of the comps

    at the end of the day it's all down to luck sure you will have a better chance of winning if you do more entries but if you do an extra entry and there thousands of entries how much greater chance percentage wise will you have of winning?

    Many moons ago I once won a £12,000 MG sports car in an ITV Sports competition and my name was picked out as the winner from 122,000 entries and guess what I made just one entry!

    how many times have you heard people say that they have won the lottery a 14 million to 1 chance of winning by buying just one ticket quite a few times I'm sure

    if your luck's in you will win and one entry will do, so my advice is to just enter once and move on to the next comp ;)

    yes the magazine dailies and the ITV comps are quite popular and there could be thousands of entries per day for the big prizes

    I'm not saying don't do them but if you do maybe do just one entry? they have a lot of entries so entering more than once won't really improve your chances of winning by much
