    Sometimes, I feel like giving up because I feel like the unluckiest person in the world. I enter 70+ comps a day and have never won anything apart from some shampoo and magnets.

    its is strange how this comp thing works, even if we are all entering the same amount of comps per day it really is all down to lady luck.. So so sorry for those of you who have not won in such a long time but here is hoping that when your win comes it will be a biggie and keep you going for months. xx

    I've only won bits and pieces this month (and it's all food related! :rotfl:). Do you think the comping fairy thinks I need fattening up? :rotfl:

    I'm grateful for every win I get though. :)

    I've only had one win (last friday) in 7 months, so yep I would say I'm having a dry spell too :( Wishing everyone who is also having a quiet time the best of luck.

    Apart from some Cherry Bakewells, I've not won anything for 7.5 months and often feel like I'm doing something wrong as I put so much time into it. I do wonder whether some people are just 'lucky' and some are unlucky as it does seem odd to see some people win on a daily basis and others winning loads of holidays etc when you're entering tonnes a day and not winning a thing. I've also had nightmares trying to get Olympics tickets so maybe there is such a thing as just being plain unlucky! I really need a break though, it's been a tough year so would be very, very grateful if the comping fairy could sprinkle some of this lucky dust on me and let me win a little prize!!! anything!! :)

    I think sometimes it's just your time, this will be my 3rd year comping now, and I have done quiet well untill this dry patch happened, I've had the odd quiet month but nothing like this.

    Keep at it and it will be your turn soon. As for the people that KEEP winning everyday and KEEP winning the big prizes, there are various reasons for this, some are just lucky, some need to get a life as I know a few compers that only sleep for 4 hours a day and the rest of it is purely comping, and sadly there are a few that just plain cheat.

    It will be our turn soon :D

    I am in a dry place too apart from two small comp wins of fake tan!... I have been desperately trying to win a holiday or short break but maybe with all the fake tan I have to accept that I won't be going anywhere but will just look as though I have :rotfl:

    Lots of luck to all who need the comping fairy to remember where they live xx :)

    Thank you - I will keep at it I'm not a quitter :D Yeah that's very true I really don't have the hours in the day to put that much effort in - do people really do that???! Unfortunately I started comping in Jan 2011 but never had the beginners luck, was slow starting, then a few prizes then back to a long dry spell! Maybe I'm just gearing up for a lovely big win! I hope lady luck visits all of us who are stuck in this dry spell!!
