    If the prize was something I wanted then yes.
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

    2K is a low number for entries

    You've got to be in it to win it.

    By the time I've got to the page and read the info I feel like I've put that much effort in so I might as well do that little bit extra to be in the draw. I've beaten the odds before, I once won £5k on Real Deal and there must be loads of entries for that so I remember that and think that you can win despite the odds, but of course you've got to be in it!

    Yep, someone has to win, might aswell give yourself a chance by entering, otherwise you defiantly have no chance of winning :)

    Depends really.
    I generally don't bother with the B&M ones 'cause there's always a stupid number of entries, if it's something as simple as a RT or a facebook like I'll do it, but generally not.

    Same with the AndroidAuthority type ones, I generally don't even bother ... if I hover over the title on the main board and see it says "Android Authority", then I'll just skip over it.

    I use my comping mantra "someone has to win it and it might as well be me"!
    Many thanks to everyone who posts competitions and works so hard to provide all the answers!

  • Yes, if I want something I will enter it. Smoeone has to win it and there's no reason why it can't be me :)
    I just enter and forget...hoping to win something! :)

    Yes I do mostly still enter because, as has been said, someone has to win it - it only takes one entry to win! Even the Home & Bargain ones where they have over 50,000 likes - I still enter as by not entering I would definitely not win, whereas I just "probably" won't win otherwise!!
  • If it's something I really want. Most of the time I don't even bother looking at entries and it only grabs my attention if it's ridiculously high or low. Any chance is better than no chance!
