    Odds on pinterest competitions seem to be better - although they are becoming more popular.

    I won Robbie Williams tickets this week on a comp run by Currys PCWorld.

    They gave away 10 tickets per 'date' and the comp was just to repin a pin - the date I entered for had 48 repins - and 10 people of those won - so pretty decent odds.

    Another date only had 28 repins, and 10 winners from those !!!!!!

    I've seen a few where there's under 10 entrants and some where there's a few hundred, but it's very rarely more than that.

    I've also won perfume and a £500 tesco voucher through pinterest in the last month. So get on there lol :)
