How long before you won your first competition?

Options
Hi Guys,

I'm new to the forum but I have been entering comps for around 5 months now but I have yet to win anything. I enter roughly 50 competitions a day, sometimes more. How long did you enter competitions for before you won something? I love entering as it's exciting to think you could win something at the end....maybe one day! I'm learning to drive at the moment so money is tight and even the smallest of wins would perk me up!

Thank you to everyone that posts comps on here :)

Look forward to reading your replies,

Sharon

    Comping is a "hobby" - winning is a bonus

    Sorry, but if you expect to win then maybe this is not the "hobby" for you.

    Some people on here enter over 1000 competitions a day (See the May Challenge thread in CCC), and may have 1 win a month (that's 30,000 entries to win 1 prize).... whilst some people have been entering for years and never won anything ....... it's not a get rich quick scheme that you may have read about.


    Can someone please PM a BG and request this thread be moved into the correct forum (Compers Chat Corner)

    Thanks
    Yes, I know there is no "R" in the word dream in my username - it was setup in memory of my grandson :A
