    Most compers I know will maximise their chances as much as possible - yet the OP does this and it's suddenly greedy? Is this because they are a newbie? Some really unkind and uncalled for comments on this thread. I didn't see the OP be rude once yet out come all the snarky remarks and another person scared off the boards.

    A few years ago Itv had a 30 entry route, phone/online, So if op is for real, what they are doing is no different to what many Msers were doing several years ago.
    It's only in the last few years since Itv got in trouble for charging for entries that weren't eligible to win ie: after closing date they left lines open etc, that it all changed.

    Can we all just quit it.

    If this person is in such financial worry and stress as to spend their day consumed with trying to win an ITV comp then they need help not ridicule.

    My advice - stop it, stop trying to win them and call national debt line and find other areas of MSE forum to help you - the sooner you do the better you will feel.

    Not everyone comps 'for fun' 'as a hobby' people comp to raise much needed funds - that is why this forum is on this website is it not?
