    20K tweets on my current account and over 20K on my old account, used to win a lot a couple of years ago but since finishing uni and starting work i haven't had as much time to comp for the past few years, but in that time comping on twitter has got more popular so the odds have defo gone down of late.

    Still, the win ratio is better than most! I wouldn't give up altogether as its all down to the luck of the draw.

    If you only RT or tweet for comps, do you think they would change the winner if you won?

    No. I only RT comps and it's never affected the win ratio - only the number of people now doing twitter.

    Much the same as any prize draw really not much return for all the effort. If you do get a win though it is great. 8,100 tweets here and 4 wins.
    Make £2 a day challenge - doing well so far.

    2.5k tweets, no wins. I'm not giving up until I win that damn fish slice though just so I can happily red cross it.

    I felt very similar about twitter...but guess what has just happened?!

    I WON A TWITTER COMP!

    Just won a GAME voucher from a Dairylea RT comp!

    So guys, it is worth it. It's probs the easiest form of comping so why give up, my win just now proves that even though it doesn't feel like it sometimes, it really can be worth it.
  • Well I've never won anything on Twitter..actually I won a code for a movie download once that didnt actually work so I'm not counting that..

    I am wondering if I'm even entering right, for the rt comps do you just have to click retweet or do you have to write your own tweet with the relevant # in? im so confused!
