Anyone not winning on the advents?

I've started making a note alongside competition details of when winners will be notified- many won't be until the New Year...
Saw one today (on FB) that said it would only give the winner on their FB page on a set date, so if you don't check you could miss it.0 -

Today I entered 179 advent comps. That's not including my regular dailies and mag dailies.
I've had 5 advent wins so far. I'm quite happy with that. They're only small wins (except for one) but it's an improvement on 1 advent win from last yearYou'll have to speak up; I'm wearing a towel0 -

Sending you good luck-theres plenty of time to go yet x0 -
I think I have reached the point of quitting. I have entered every stella giveaway apart from 4 and have not won anything. I have won pringles speakers but that it on the advents and I won a lipstick in orange last month. I have been comping for 6 months and have come to the conclusion that my name is either black listed or I am just not lucky. I appreciate that others have not won things and yes I have really enjoyed it but with Christmas approaching, my house a mess and working 60 hours per week plus all the comps I am really stuggling. I know a win could just be round the corner but it never happens.
I am very grateful to all of those who post, you do a fantastic job.
I hope everyone is lucky.0 -
I think it is all based on luck - I enter around 200 plus advents a day and have won a fair few prizes - much more than last year. I've won from site advents, FB and Twitter this year so happy my effort is paying off. I think it is down to luck:TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea0

I've not won anything on the advents yet. I probably don't enter as many as most people each day. Tbh i find them a bit of a faff. I end up visiting a lot of pages and deciding i don't want the prize anyway, or have to open them in a different browser because they're screwing up etc.
I've picked out about 10 or so that have prizes I'm interested in and are fairly straight forward to enter and just sticking with those and the comps on the main board.0 -
I've not won anything on the advents so far but to be fair I haven't entered that many as I'm struggling for time. I'm so busy seeing people over the Christmas period and working during the day (sat next to manager's so can only go online when they're in meetings).
Keep it up though, we still have over half the time left to winMy new year's comping resolution is to spend more time entering the 'Effort competitions' properly!
Thank you everyone who posts comps and participates in the Forums :T0
