    Don't give up. It passes time and wins are bonuses, thats how i see it.

    Hope you get a huge win soon xx

    I wouldn't give up, what I would do is maybe change the competitions you enter for a while - for example do you automatically ignore Rafflecopter/Blog/Facebook/Twitter competitions? If so then perhaps try giving one or two of them a go, nothing to lose and you may find one of those avenues end up being very lucky for you. Hope you get some luck soon.

    The only certain thing is, if you give up you'll win even less, just keep plodding.

    I agree with Straycat, magazine daily wins seem to have gone down significantly for most of us . You say you enter 150+ a day but whatg are you entering for - if you mainly do the bigger prize comps you are going to win less.

    Look at my sig - this month is a bad month - my biggest win is a set of 5 books but it' s still a number of wins - by the way I do around 300 a day
