How many comps do you enter?

            well you can safely say the probablility of winning if you don't enter is zero.
 Other than that it is chance and your chance of winning depends on the number of entries. The more competitions you enter have their own probability of winning so you neither have more nor less chance really? well that's how i see it.0

 I get a lot of junk emails which I just delete but I don't get any more than usual postal mail. I've had a few annoying phonecalls but I just go "yeh yeh yeh" until they have finished what they said and then say "No thanks" and hang up.Do you end up with bucket loads of junk mail and unwanted emails etc?

            most people set up another email with the free providers i.e. hotmail, yahoo, google so if there is junk mail its all collected there. but be careful that your wins don't get lost in the junk.
 when entering the competitions there is often the option of declaring whether you would like further contact from them.0

            I only enter comps that I want to win. Probably works out to be 20 - 30 a week.
 Have only 1 comp and have been comping since about April / May!

 Has anyone lost a win by not checking ???
 I have just begun comps again and wonder how carefully you have to check the zillions of emails that come in. Is the word 'win' in the subject or do you have to read everything more carefully? I'm wondering if I've been a bit too quick to delete mails.
 Everyone on here is so friendly and helpful, I've spent hours reading up on tips and ideas. It's really addictive isnt' it?
 Thanks to everyone who unselfishly posts the comps for us all. :T:T0
