Raises the question, why enter if you already had the books :huh: :cool: I apply the logic that if I think I'll be any way disappointed to receive the prize then I simply don't enter, and give someone else the chance who might really want/need it

Oh no, I agree with you 100%! I hate when people enter for things they don't really want just to sell them on. What it was, I thought they were whole new stories when in fact they were just compilations with a new cover - very sneaky!!

My strategy is to spend about 2 hours of an evening catching up with the comps on here. I only ever enter those I'd really like though, so I suppose that does cut down on the overall chances of winning!

Oh Now that's really annoying!

Yep, the stats are stacked whichever way you look at it :cool:

Fingers crossed you have some lovely wins soon, Pickles :j

I do 200 as a daily minimum when you include dailies/mag dailies, postals and main board!
It means I have an non-existent social life but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make :rotfl:

Your a pro

So what does that make the folks on the Monthly Challenge who enter 1000+ a day? :eek:

Nutters :rotfl:

I have been comping for 5 years and this year is definitely my worst one so far. In saying that, I have won a few really good, high value prizes so I'm not complaining (not too much anyway). I have thought about taking a break but I can't as it's part of my daily routine, and I wouldn't know what to do wihout it!

It's the anticipation of a win, of what could be just around the corner that keeps me going.

Good luck to you all *sprinkles lucky dust*

I've only had six wins this year, but combined value is just under £3.5k and includes a holiday in Spain and a weekend break in London. I doubt I enter 100 comps a day, probably not even 50 most days. I am generally very selective about what I enter as I would far rather quality than quantity any day. I'm doing better than I did last year and about the same as the year before.

I've been having a really good year, up until mid-July - when it all seemed to dry up! Hopefully a post in here might bring me some luck, who knows?!
