facebook comps

:cool:hi could any one tell me, when entering facebook competitions and they say you dont have to share, but would like us to, does that mean if we dont share we are more unlikely to win. I rarely share and hardly ever win facebook competitions:cool:

    It's against Facebook rules to ask for shares/likes as competition entries.

    So it's up to you whether or not you choose to share, even if they state it as a entry method.. Personally I don't share posts, even when they ask and I've still won.
    Anchor yourself to the foundations of everything you love.

    Thank you to all those who post competitions!:beer:

    If it's run properly it should make no difference but it will certainly not improve your chances on those that are not.

    They aren't meant to make it a condition that you have to share, but I often think, well there's nothing to stop them from only picking winners from those who have shared the comp. Anything that mentions sharing - whether as a condition, or whether the twee kind of "you don't have to but sharing is caring, we'd love it if you did" - I tend to steer clear of!
