    How many competitions are you entering, if you don't mind me asking? I think you do have to commit so much time to win a decent amount and even then, no guarantee! I must do 6 hours of comps a day during the week, (at the least, perhaps more) but I'm very slow, some people seem to be able to do an extraordinary amount quickly. Recently it hasn't felt worth the time! But it only takes one big one to make it feel worth it again. x

    Personally I enter about 2 hours each weekday and then I have 1 big comping session at the weekend which is maybe a total of 4-5 hours each weekend day

    So maybe 20 hours entering comps each week - only approx - sometimes it's more sometimes less.

    For example this weekend i've entered 150 on the Sat and i'm on about the same now for the Sun and i'm still going for a few hours yet

    I should also add that I comp by end date and in a very organised way.
    Every day I do the instant wins, dailies and comps on tw/fb ending that day, then I do comps ending that day, comps ending the next day and move forward

    If you have only recently started comping or do not enter many - you will probably have entered a lot of competitions that do not end yet for a while
    Not really comping any more as too ill - but hoping to win £1000+ in 2017 in cash prizes - watch this space!

    Thanks fluffy and treacle for the advice. I now do about 60 click to wins a night, followed by about 10 or so dailies and then 20-30 actual 'comps'

    I only enter for things that I want to win
    the click to wins are very time consuming so not sure if I'll continue as I'm doing the same ones each day on TV choice, take a break, that's life, Bella etc.

    Is my strategy good do you think or can you give any feedback/suggestions that may up my odds
    Thanks to all who post here:beer:
  • I don't actually do the click to wins or mag dailies - I've maybe done them once or twice.

    They just get far too many entries and seem too spammy to me - some don;t even actually promise to give away a prize at all - like those guess the right combination ones etc..

    I stick entirely to proper comps

    Personally I would drop the click to wins.
    Then concentrate on this: Today's most popular
    That way you will more than likely get an entry in the higher value comps.

    Just my view of course :-)

    Thanks Treacle and Weeowens, I think I'll just do click to wins on one site and only for the 4 or 5 really good prizes

    Appreciate your input and help.. Hopefully I'll get a win soon and will be back to share it with you all :)

    Weeowens. How did you find that "most popular" listing?
