great thank you! I actually won something the day after I started this thread :rotfl:typical. It was something small but wanted all the same! I love comping for the fun of it, but like I said a win is a bonus. And I must take your advice and start believing I can win wish me luck??? Haha!

Good luck, you can do it ......oh, you already did Hope the luck continues #believe :rotfl:

I don't think it's *just* luck. Most of my wins have come in either local comps (so either the comp was in a local print newspaper or magazine, or was for a super-local prize, or both), or in effort comps. Yesterday I entered about 5 effort comps*, and I've had an email this morning to say I've won one of them (I am not saying what until I get the item because, you know, jinx)! Thanks to everyone who points out comps and who tags them effort!

To the tune of The Great Pretender... "Oh yes! I'm the End Date Comper..."

I enter a lot of competitions about 30 a day, more at weekends and when I am off work and I do OK. I have been lucky with the best ones being a TV (£500), 2 coffee machines (£500 and £200), a sewing table (£800), Love to shop vouchers (£250) but these have been well spread out over 3 years. This year seems to be the slowest yet though, I guess the number of people entering has increased. I do only enter the ones I want or high value prizes. I don't always keep the prizes I win, I give a lot away to friends and family and I also sell some on Ebay. When you win the item becomes yours and you can what you like with it. Good luck!

i always try and enter the ones with effort if it's something i feel i can do, my latest win was from telling them what my favourite summer perfume is and basically reviewing it... they picked 10 of the best and mine was one of them

I believe it is down to luck, pure and simple.

I have been comping since 2004 and I am a fussy comper. I have always only entered very few comps probably on average 5 a day. If there are 5 new pages of comps on here per day that would be about 100 comps, I may only enter 2-5 comps at the very most. I never bother with the Mags or C2Ws as I simply do not have time. I work and I have a life as well.

Over the years I have been extremely lucky and I mean very lucky as even with my very low number that I enter I have won some fantastic big prizes from holidays to four figure cash sums on a few occasions.

However, this year I think lady luck has left me as I have only won 2 advents in January and two other prizes this year so this really has been my most unsuccessful year ever...... so far

It is a hobby though, I am not going to change, I am not going to enter for stuff I do not personally want or need. I will keep on and maybe she will return

I haven't won anything in years. 2007 I had a win in like my first week and nothing from this site since then. There were times when I'd spend the whole day entering almost every single comp I could find on the site but got nothing. I'm not convinced I'll ever have another win again but I keep trying.
