Winning Dry Spell

Options
Currently going through my longest dry spell with out a win. Have not won anything since June, when i enter all the comps on UK Hot deals every day, as well as all the clicks to wins everyday.

Hoping there is a big win around the corner for me soon, getting a little fed up with entering loads but of not getting anything.

What been your longest dry spell?

    Been comping one month... no first win yet. Maybe try entering different types of comps. Those 'click to win' are so depressing lol, I really can't do them anymore. I enjoy FB comps with comment effort... Maybe a long dry spell = big win soon :D

    i have no idea as ive only just started 'seriously' comping, ive always entered here & there and ive won the odd thing, but ive now recently been entering more, and have won 3 things, ive not won anything in over a week & a half now though. it does depend what competitions you enter, i enter a bit of everything but mainly twitter (i cant drop them i know i said i would...)

    My longest dry spell is one month
    May this year was the first time in 49 months that I did not receive at least one prize, but things seem to even themselves out and 15 arrived in July, this compares to an average of 6.25 prizes a month for the last 52 months.

  • I've not won anything for a couple of weeks but I was on holiday for one of those so only did a few :o & i've been unwell this week so haven't done as many as usual.

    I'm on Twitter @VickiStapley if anyone wants to follow me. :)
  • I have won at least one thing a month since I started comping in March 2013. Some months I have loads and some months (like last month) I only won one thing; a carry potty!
    I haven't been comping much since April 2014 though as have severe morning sickness.
    Roll on night feed comping next year ;) I'm due in the middle of advents this year #badtiming
    :love: My Best Win: My Princess delivered by her daddy 16.12.14 :love:

    2016: 20 wins approx value of £1200 :j
  • I'll keep plodding on, know that a win will come soon. even if its something little, i'd be happy.

    Sometimes i think that having the word 'comps' in my email address will count against me.

    It shouldn't but why take the chance? Just create another one without comps/mse or anything like that in it.
  • I have been comping for about a month now and entered what seems like hundreds and not won anything. Am I doing something wrong?
