Do you retweet and retweet the same comp ?

Options
Do you think you get more and more entires if you retweet every time they mention the comp again, or do you think you still only get one entry?

    if it's a 'random' draw them i would suppose you have a bigger chance of winning as more entries in the pot.

    No. I only ever tweet once.

    I go on the general consensus of One per Person/One per Household. :)

    I don't think it changes the odds. I don't believe twitter is random in any way shape or form.

    I only do it once, just in case, saying that I haven't had many TW wins :rotfl:

    I rt most every 4 hours, I have quite a few twitter wins, if I exclude myself by doing the odd one which 1 tweet only so be it.

    I always end up in twitter Jail everyday, often 4 times on a friday so I time when I tweet so i can be out of jail before 5pm when most close.

    That's just me everyone does things differently.

    I've noticed that a lot of wins go to serial tweeters.
    Never used to notice until the same names kept cropping up.
    When I log on in the morning, as sure as night follows day, they'll have retweeted the same comps every day until they end, and keep retweeting them throughout the day.

    Must work as they seem to be winning.

    Me, when I'm looking for comps and there's a new tweet then I'll give it a RT but don't go out of my way to look for them

    I didn't think you could retweet the exact same tweet? I thought an error message came up?

    I think it's a quote RT being talked about.

    One which is copied and pasted, then just 'tweeted' :)

    Wow 4 times in twitter jail in a single day, that must be annoying! How long do they usually stop you tweeting for?
    Not had a twitter win in a while but I'm not sure I'd want to tweet the same comp tweets over and over (& don't have the time). I wish that all comps would be one entry only, would make it fairer in my opinion...
