    Sounds like lots of people are like me and not winning anything.
    Have been comping since 1st January and have won......nothing. whats the longest any ine has waited for a win?

    I calculated my win rate a few months ago as approx 1-2 wins for every 2000 competitions entered. That was with an entry schedule of 50-70 MSE comps per day + All the mag dailies. I was winning a prize every 4-5 weeks

    Despite recently entering more MSE comps (up to 100-130 per day) + Mag dailies i didn't win anything in April but then won 2 prizes so far in May. It's a law of averages, the more you enter the more likely you are to win something.

    If you're really desperate for a win, choose a comp with very good odds. I recently won a Benefit Mascara as they were giving away 3000, pretty much a gaurenteed win.

    Good Luck

    I normally enter at least 100 clicks to win every 3 days a week and the rest of the time I spend about another hour a day entering rafflecopters, email comps etc.

    im having a bad year too...yet with me, i was luckier when i first started out comping...3 or 4 years ago. Back then, i would win on average 4 or 5 things a month, last year i won 4 things...in the whole YEAR. This year i've won nothing so far...it's not like i'm entering less comps, i am entering the same if not more, as i've started entering Twitter ones recently as well...so don't know why it is...must just be the sheer volume of people comping now :)
