Why cant I win?

Going through a really bad comping time, march a few tiny wins like dog treats. Won two tickets to Bugsy Malone but couldnt go because all the dates I wanted were sold out! April absolutely nothing, nada, nought. How is it going for others, I feel like I am doing something wrong, liking sharing, tweeting, emailing, commenting is getting me nowhere! :undecided

They are only small wins but are still wins so i am quite pleased, i try to enter and forget then its a nice surprise if i win. Hopefully you will win something soon x

    But I haven't won any thing since February 24, so it's been 2 months now since my last win, its my longest dry spell

    This year has been alright for me, but then I'm entering a lot more than I did last year.

    I think it depends on what you are content with. I'm not looking for big prizes (obviously I would be happy with one if I won though!). I win things like dog treats, cat toys etc and they please me just as much as a bigger prize (I have 6 dogs and cats). I have 2 cat prizes on the way (treats and a goody bag) and I'm just as excited about them coming as I was with the £40 Amazon voucher I recently won!

    How many competitions are you entering per day? I don't tend to keep track, I just keep going until I am too bored to carry on but I reckon its about 80-100 ish a day.
    I just enter and forget...hoping to win something! :)
