    Serenity my friend runs Mother Distracted blog & I know she picks her winners fairly (or I woud have won:rotfl:) and I think the reason other bloggers win is because they are a network and enter each other's comps they are picked fairly but each one has a fairly high number of bloggers entering so a blogger can easily win IYKWIM

    I agree - Mother Distracted blogger, Linda, is very honest in choosing her winners, as are many other bloggers. There is only a certain small bunch of bloggers who sadly choose to break the rules and not many of there comps are posted on here :)
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea
  • I'm sure as you say your friend runs them fairly. I have no idea who she is. However you can't possibly know the thousands or more likely hundreds of thousands of other bloggers so can't comment on whether or not they all run them fairly. I know a fair few who don't. It's simple math as well. The amount of other bloggers winning far outweighs those who don't.

    So i believe you when you speak about your friend but one person out of thousands means nothing really, sorry.

  • I enter them and have had quite a bit of luck winning from them. I think out of the 8 comps I won last year 5 were rafflecopter or gleam, and of the 3 I've won this month 1 was rafflecopter.

    I only ever enter on the accounts I have specifically for comping though. Twitter, Google+, Bloglovin and Pinterest are my comping only accounts. I don't follow on Instagram or Facebook because they're my personal accounts and I don't want to have to swarm through company posts to get to posts from friends. I quite like that most rafflecopters now only require you to visit their facebook and Instagram pages rather than following them. I know them getting my clicks gets them more publicity but I'm not bothered as long as they're not littering my newsfeed.

    I'll also only do them if they're a reasonable length. I saw a rafflecopter a few days ago with 70+ options. Waaaay too many and puts me off entering if I have to follow that many accounts.

    Use the genuine bloggers. You will get to know most of them from here. I know it is hard but if you are on long enough you will get to know them and don't expect a win. The genuine ones don't pick their pals.

    retweet the tweet then in the box popup after you have done so it will show a button saying view tweet. click that and it will bring up your tweet. then just copy and paste the url into the box where it asks you to show your retweet.

    (That sounded complicated even to me lol)
