  • Hiya,

    No theres nothing wrong, I know it probably feels frustrating and a total waste of your time at the moment, as we have all felt like that at some point. But you have to keep going.... you will win very soon, dont forget that a lot of the comps may not have ended yet, or are immenent.

    I am sure your patience will pay off dividends in no time at all....

    Stick with it!!

    hugs

    Ive been doing comps for about 2 months now. When i first started doing them i entered loads but then i never won anything and got frustrated and stopped but now i have started again. Its not just you who is unlucky and some of the people on the comping board told me it took some of them about 6 months before their first win.

    Its free and we will win something sooner or later so carry on as will i:rotfl:

    Well done for your persistance. 20 - 80 comps a day is hard work. I guess some people are naturally lucky. You should try your local paper comps these are usually lower entry numbers so your odds will increase. Find the comps with low entry / multiple prizes. I wonder if anyone else on the site has an idea on odds for the different types of comps.

    Keep comping

    AHHH! Thank you for your words of encouragement...it's a bit like the lottery....you're scared not to do the comps everyday just in case it's your lucky day - then it never is!!!!! I am still gonna try though and good luck to every-one too!!!!! Hugs from London!!!

    Keep going you will get something. Also look at the closing dates, I didnt win for ages then realised some didnt finish for months after I had entered them - its also true some people just seem to have more luck (my lucks average)

    :dance:Carry on Comping :dance:

    You'll all win eventually. It took me a while for anything to come through. I've only had small wins, but am waiting (impatiently) for a biggy! As brook_son said, the closing dates of most of the ones you entered may be some months off. I've had odd things arrive and had to scratch my head to realise where they came from ............but it is very nice to have the postman call with a win! :T
