I am quite new to comping and have been entering dailies magazines for 3 months and using extra entries by sharing on facebook, twitter. I do them every day, never miss a day and I only won very small prize like dvd from Look magazine and also small win on Womens own. I am wondering if anyone else has won by entering every day on Whats on TV, Marie Claire, Now, Pickmeup, Womens magazine, Womens weekly, Handbag, This is the competitions? I had a look and seen some of the names won few times in a very short period of time. I just dont understand it.. Its look like the more often you enter the less likely you win???

    hi, in my HO it's just the luck of the draw, some i've won by only entering a few times & some i've won by entering every day,

    I've now won on them all except Handbag - I seem to win regularly with woman's own & woman's weekly but it took 6 month's with Marie Claire & I seem to win roughly every 6 months on WOTV & Look th others I'veonly won once in 18 months (probably because they have few comps with single or small numbers of prizes)

  • I didn't really start doing the dailies on a regular basis until October last year, I won with Womans Own a couple of weeks later, I then won with This is Competitions in December and I have just won with WOTV.
    I do try to enter most days but I don't share for extra entries.

    I wanted to give up on What's on TV and Marie Claire as not had a win but if you say it's possible to win with them, I think I will carry on.
  • I have been entering these for some time with little luck and then last week I won twice with marie claire. so I think I will keep it up now.
    I've found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances...... Brian Tracy
  • I was thinking the same about good to know comps, anyone won from them ?

    I've been doing the magazine dallies since October and still haven't won anything yet, so it really is the luck of the draw...

    just wanted to add that I share until I've either exhausted my entries or entered all I want to enter - I don't just stick to the 6 , I don;t win as often on the ones that allow 20 entries
