    Thanks alot :) That is very helpful. I'm exploring different paths to try and win. I'm doing about 100 a day, do you think that is enough?

    You can enter one a day and win it, or enter 500 a day and win none.
    It's all about luck and chance and the amount of effort you put in doesn't equal a bigger reward.

    100 a day is hardly any tbh. But doing more doesn't mean you will win. Do what you feel able to do/comfortable with and keep your fingers crossed.
    Thank you to everyone who posts on the competitions boards. You all rock!

    I have just posted two really low entry comps. One is a science kit on FB, the other a book on TW.

    Wow a 100 isn't hardly any? And that takes up alot of time. God knows how people find the time to do much more than that lol

    My prizes started coming faster when i entered over 1000 a week - yes its very time consuming so you have to decide if you have the time. some months i do, some i dont.
    I was lucky last week i found one on facebook that only had 100 entries and there was 7 prizes - i won one :)

  • I think it's down to luck. Although I won tickets to several foodies festivals earlier this year so maybe with things like that they release unsold tickets to compers in the days leading up to the event as notification came a day or two before the event. Had some good days out. Won 5 different DVD's since Easter too. Nothing for a couple of weeks now but something will come eventually. Just keep comping!

    if there were magic no entry competitions they would not be so any longer after being mentioned on here! Bear that in mind
    MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOUR
