Twitter wins

I was just wondering how many Twitter comps you all enter before you get a win?

I know its mostly down to luck of the draw and some people win after only a few and others it can take aaaaages - I am coming up to my 1000th tweet and I only tweet comps - was wondering if I am just one of the unluckier ones, does this seem normal - I question my technique!!

    I won my first twitter comp last Friday and I had just under 8,000 tweets by then, i'd say over 99% of them were comps. I wondered if I was doing it right. But I know some people are more luckier and win almost daily on twitter.
    Hoping the comping fairy is nice this month and the postman comes.

    I have just over 1000 tweets and I've had 2 wins. My account is mainly for comping but I do try to post a non-comp post every day (to look a little normal). I guess its just luck depending on the popularity of the type of comp you tweet for.

    I think I may of had one normal tweet in there I guess I should add a few more before they get suspicious and ban me :grin:

    1080 tweets here (maybe 1 or 2 'normal' ones a day) and 2 wins from that. 6-7 weeks in total.

    I use twitter a fair bit for catching up with bloggers, etc. but I'd say around 95% of my tweets are comps.

    49420 tweets so far and averaging around 5-10 wins a month xx
