has anyone actually never won anything?

I love reading the winners thread as it gives me hope that maybe one day, it'll be my turn to win something. I'd like to hear from people who have never won anything, how long have you been comping, have you felt like giving up comping? I know this isn't a very encouraging thread but I'd like to know I'm in good company :)

    By the number of replies to this question I would say every body has won something.
    I do it just for fun and whatever I win is a bonus

    i won a teddy bear & iphone back in 2010. started comping again at the end of 2013 & have had no wins yet.

    but i guess your odds of winning depends what comps your entering.

    I have never won a thing in all my years of comping via MSE.Comping is a pure waste of time & no one ever wins.

    I think that all this comping lark is just a trick to obtain personal information to spam us via email or call us on the telephone for mad reasons.

    Hopefully the above will deter new visitors to MSE Comps from entering any comps & make my chance of winning increase.

    PS: I tell the odd lie sometimes :-)

    You'll win when you least expect it. Expect a win, and you won't get it. This applies to me, anyway, lol.
