How on earth are you winning all these comps?!

This sounds like a very good (and lucky!) thread to be on!

Can you please tell me how most of you seem to be winning all this competitions!

I wanna slice!

    Keep entering and never give up, concentrate on the prizes you really want to win. I like tie brakers as they tend not to have so many entries and demand a bit of skill. So get entering and you will soon be winning

    On another thread someone mentioned you can use autofill to fill in your details for competions with just a click of a button. Sounds like an excellent idea does anyone kno where i can get it:confused:

    Thanks;)

    http://www.roboform.com/

    I use that one, don't store more than 10 sites though cause it asks me to upgrade :D

    I think some people use google bar autofill as well :)

    I use Roboform too and just keep entering. I only picked those I really wanted at first, but now I enter alot more and even if it is something I don't nessecarily want, I can give it as a gift or even sell it (also plan on keeping things back for a charity auction or raffle if I win lots!)
  • I just enter anything and everything - time allowing. The more you enter the more chances you have of winning something.

    Good luck

    You have to work at it. There is an element of luck, but mostly its a case of putting in the hours. I enjoy comping and it is a hobby, but it could just as easily be a part time job.

    Remember we are a forum community, not a commercial site. If you 'want a slice' do contribute too.

    You don't have to download Roboform. You can use autofill if you look on your internet options on your comp and check the box it fills in all your forms for you without downloading any programmes onto your comp.

    I won loads in the first year I was comping but it's fallen each year since then. I think they like to give the prizes to new potential customers and not to someone who's obviously there just to enter comps.
