Am I the only one with no comping luck?

As the title says, I have not won anything since about last March.
I am still trying to keep up with the comps every day and see people winning all the time.
Is anyone else the same as me?
For those that have the comping fairy dust, are you just entering on here or are you going Facebook and Twitter too?
Good luck everyone!

I can join that club as well. I enter daily and haven't won in ages. Mind you it's probably my fault as well because I don't usually enter the comps for the small prizes and am discerning about what I want to win. I used to win a lot of small prizes and sell or give away any unwanted ones but I don't do that any more.
However I have won quite a few good prizes over the years including trips to Ibiza, £1000.00 cash, Camera, phone and tablet. So I know that eventually my winning streak will return.
If I win one decent prize a year I count myself lucky so fingers crossed!:DTreat everyday as your last one on earth! and one day you will be right.0 -

I'm the same with hardly any wins. The last I won was in August but have had very few wins in 2015. I am still entering the same amount of comps I did when I started but just not winning anything. I didn't even win an advent comp.
I have decided that if I don't win anything by the end of January I will take a break for a couple of months.
I don't know if it's more people entering or that my luck has ran out.
Good luck to everyone else I love hearing that people have won and usually keeps your hopes alive that one day it could be me again.Sometimes later becomes never. ...0 -
I too had my worst year comping in 2015 and I have been at it since 2004. Every year I have won and abundance of amazing prizes. Last year hardly anything.
It is all down to luck. Only this morning I was in a certain bingo site playing my weekly £2 and it always amazes me how you see the same person(s) winning in these games. This morning out of 12 games with between 6 and 12 players the same player won or shared a win for at least 8 of those games. Not the first time I have seen that neither. Even with those few players I still never won a beanThe best things in life are free.....0 -
I said it on another thread but I had 3-4 very dry months last year, was a difficult slog at times but this year I have won 14 prizes in 17 days, it just happens like that really with it!

2015 was a very strange year for me prizewise; It was at the same time both my best and my worst year! By that I mean, the wins were extremely thin on the ground (I think in 5 out of the 12 months I won absolutely nothing at all) but towards the end of the year I won my biggest prize to date (£2000) plus 2 other great high value prizes - all within 2 weeks.
If you'd asked me 5 weeks before the end of the year I'd have said "ugh, terrible year" - the highest value prize I'd won all year was £80 and that was a total one-off. I'd won nothing else worth more than a tenner all year and I think had only 14 or 16 prizes all year up to that point.
Then I just seemed to have a bit of a lucky streak and win those great prizes in a short time.
Sadly I've won nothing else since, but I figured the comping fairy was kind to me for those few weeks so she's now sprinkling lucky dust over someone else.
It just goes to show, you can be having the most awful luck but then it can suddenly change. Fingers crossed for everyone.0 -
Thanks for your replies everyone.
Does look like it is quite slow for lots of us and like people have said it might be as more people are entering.
I have been lucky over the year which included 2 massive family holidays Australia and Florida), 2 iPads, being my biggest prizes, so I shouldn't complain. Maybe my luck will return eventually.

I try not to moan when I'm not winning but maybe it did me good yesterdaySometimes later becomes never. ...0 -
