    I've been comping a lot for about 6 weeks and won nothing. I understand that it takes some time to build up entries because many closing dates are well into the future when you first enter.

    However, when you're entering all the daily comps and still not winning, it gets a bit frustrating. Especially when more experienced compers seem to win them frequently. Makes you think there is such a thing as luck, or some big secret that you are missing out on.
    Wins to date:

    Jul 2007: Nintendo DS Lite, Gardening Tools, Bananarama CD, 2 x Women's Open Golf Tickets (worth £50 each)
    Aug 2007: Shrek backpack,Tick remover, Firehouse Dog goodies
    Sep 2007: Box of Wispas
    Oct 2007: £5 Amazon voucher

    I find I tend to win most of my prizes now via local publications, I have been comping since about 1996 and use to wins tons of stuff on a monthly basis at least two prizes a week from national and local publications but I think a lot mor people are doing competitions now, hence not winning many national ones anymore.
