What comps DONT you enter and why?

Really pleased to hear that I am not the only one that gives Rafflecopter a wide berth. It would have to be an exceptional prize for me to enter as it is just so tedious. I wonder if the competition setters realise what reaction some compression have to it!

I dont do any facebook ones or wedding ones. I'm quite selective on holiday ones too. I also avoid the 3dtv ones - there seem to be lots of these about and I just dont want one!

I like twitter comps as they are usually so quick but totally agree about rafflecopter being a pain. Is there a way to stay logged in with them. I usually end up having to log in by hand (roboform wont do it) and then once Ive commented on the blog it usually makes me log in again, grrr! Only use it if I really really want the prize.

I started by doing everything but i'm new to comping and was excited by the whole thing.

Have now stopped doing sports things unless it football or motor racing related.

1 or 2 nights away up North as being right down South its just not worth the travel.

Meet and greets.

Festivals.

Well I for one love entering rafflecopters due to the low entries with many compers giving it a wide berth! I've been quite successful too, usually winning around 2-3 rafflecopters a month

*Alot of holidays as I'm disabled so traveling is very difficult for me.
*Tickets for sporting events as no-one in our family is interested in sports.
*Wedding competitions (unless it's a standard prize that anyone can use and even then, I um.. and ahh... over it.
*Voting competitions. It's becoming increasingly easy for people to cheat or "buy" votes and it's just not worth entering when you know that you don't stand a chance.

Anything involving horses, car spares, knitting or art & crafty type activities.

Most DVD's , CDs and books .. Although I do enter these when I start getting desperate for a win :rotfl::rotfl:

Any of those film goody bags that contain T.shirt, bottle openers, mugs, posters or tat

Meet & greets (im too shy for that)

Rafflecopters as they look too complicated or blogs where I have to think to hard

Any comp that involves 1 really nice prize + a shed load of little crappy bits like packets of cereal and chocci bars.

Definitely no FB like & shares as I do actually use my FB and don't want to bombard my friends with my competition notifications.. its bad enough that I can no longer see my friends updates through all the "liked" page updates.

Anything with a monetary value of less than £20 because Im greedy :rotfl:

Random weird looking shows where they are desperate to fill seats.

short notice holidays of more than a few days.



Basically I enter anything that either me, a family member or friend would take pleasure in receiving and I make a rule of not entering anything that I would be disappointed to win.:D

Any comps that are 'most votes win' (although I am more than happy to vote for friends if they ask)

The majority of like and shares

The majority of rafflecopters - far too much faffing

Any comps that are for a bar of chocolate/pack of crisps/teatowel/magnet etc etc - I'd rather have less wins than be inundated with tat.

Any holidays.

Any signed items unless it's someone I'm a huge fan of.

Anything wedding related, baby related, children related, sport related unless it was something that I knew a family member or friend specifically wanted.

Holiday comps - fear of flying lol

zombieslayer25

Facebook L&S
holidays for 2 people as I have 3 kids and would never get anyone to look after them for that long, though I do enter for one night stays
Tickets for events as it would be more hassle to get there than what I can be bothered to make
Anything for hobbies that I dont do, like fishing, knitting etc
Films as most films I want to see I have seen before I would get the prize.
Voting comps (but I do vote for others when asked)

Most CD/DVDs unless it's a niche I really like
A lot of blogs as they take ages to load on my PC for some reason
Holidays where school holidays are excluded
Baby stuff
From links that are outside my age range (like the over 60s stuff)
Short breaks that are at the other end of the country
