Not winning anything :*(

ozma83

I resumed comping a few months ago after a break (mostly due to work commitments) and I haven't won anything since....

I enter about 30-40 competitions every time I comp...sometimes more...

I need some encouragement!

Have a read of the I Won I Won I Won board, there can't be much more encouragement than that. Hope your luck changes

Keep at it and you'll win

Bear in mind that the majority of compers who post on here are entering upwards of 100+ every day, 7 days a week and you'll get an idea of the numbers involved in comping.

Various people have posted their own personal statistics and I believe it averages out at about 1 win per 1000 entries over the course of a year. So if you do 100 comps per day, anything over 3 wins per month is good going.

If you can handle the advents, you stand a good chance of winning in December as there are more prizes on offer. Best of luck

I'm a miserable git I know but I fail to see how threads such as these are useful to anyone.

Just enter the comps then forget & some may come back.

I do not record my wins but they have been many.The last time I noted entry totals in 2011 I think I entered about 20,000 separate comps.

If you do not enjoy the comping maybe it's not for you.

I've only been comping for about 3 months - some days I do hundreds other days only maybe 20 - 30 depending on how much time I have. I haven't won a thing. My daughter did 100 in one evening as a one off, never did any before or any since and has just won a luxury weekend break in the Cotswolds. My Mum was quite good at winning stuff - so I think the lucky gene decided to skip a generation when it came to me! The older I get the more I learn to expect nothing then you won't be disappointed. If something comes your way then it's a bonus!

This is what I mean. Of course the more comps you enter the more the chances, but sometimes it's really just down to luck! I have a friend who NEVER enters comp, she entered one once just out of curiosity and won a trip to New York....

This is why I am a bit demoralised and just needed a bit of moral support - I enjoy comping but lately I feel like I have no luck at all!!

Just carry on comping, you'll win something eventually I'm sure.

I have been comping on and off since the beginning of the year and I've won some lovely things.
I did stop entering things for a few months because I wasn't winning anything, then all of a sudden a Google Nexus 7 turned up in the post from a comp I'd entered months ago and made me start entering things again.
So I'm not the luckiest person in the world but I enjoy entering and dreaming about what could be mine! so I carry on.

My mum on the other hand has only been comping a couple of months and has won about £1000 worth of stuff!

sending you lots of fairy dust ozma83 :A
think maybe lots of us sometimes feel a bit down when going through a dry patch & need a bit of support ((hugs))
I know I've felt like it a few times
& I know of quite a few peeps that only enter comps now & again & win but also others that enter all the time & win,
so it's as you & we all say, it's just down to luck,
keep going & lots of good luck sent to you x
