    Someone who is deffo not me is winning 😶

    I have had no biggish prize in over a year and not even any small prizes this year yet.
    Having never been a prolific winner, often waiting months between wins, even I am getting a bit fed up now. Still haven't quit yet 😄
    63 mortgage payments to go.

    Zero wins 2016 😥

    100 comps a day isn't a huge amount. Only 5 pages worth on here. As there are 20 comps per page. A lot of people myself included hundreds a day. The more you enter the bigger your odds of having a win. On a final note you won something 4 weeks ago which is more than some people win I'm betting so be grateful for that. You want to win more you are going to have to up the amount of comps you enter by quite a bit.
    August-September 2017: Lots of stuff :)

    Hi was this to me? If so this post was started nearly 3 years ago, I enter hundreds a day now and still not winning, was just adding to it, years ago I would win a couple of times a week and maybe a biggish £100+ once a month, but now lucky if anything

    Sorry to be bumping my very old post, but am really struggling at the moment, am currently pregnant after 9 years of trying, so am entering as much as possible (within reason) and not winning anything at all been a very long time and it's getting frustrating, but have nothing else to do with time so am carrying on with it, I just can't seem to win anything at all, entering 100's a day as usual and it seems like all the newbies are winning loads and my name is black listed or something (probably pregnancy paranoia lol) any suggestions?? Sorry to moan but can't moan to family friends as they don't comp xx

    To put your mind at rest if you think you are blacklisted then apart from sites where you have an account try a new e-mail address if you have been using the same one for a while.
    If nothing else changing e-mail address for sites you don't need an account for means you start off spam free each time you change it and only need to keep an eye on the old one for a while.

    Maybe that is at the heart of the problem.

    There must be many thousands, possibly tens of thousands, in retirement, unemployment, disability etc etc who have nothing else to do with their time so they just turn to comping.

    I feel your pain with the winning situation, especially this month, I've entered hundreds more than I used to and winning much less.
    I have thought about changing my email address and clearing up my Twitter to see if that helps, but I think it may just be the luck of the draw, as I've seen more people posting here that are new to comping, our odds may not be in our favour.

    I wanted to congratulate you on your pregnancy though, that is a big win in itself, huge congratulations and best of luck!
    Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.

    Congratulations on the pregnancy! I would say well done but that always comes over wrong, like you are saying well done for all the time spent doing it ...
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.
    (Wisdom, Courage, Self-control, Justice)

    Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of what you can’t change
