I've one nothing really and have only been at it 3 weeks but the way I see it is that if I were to comp for 6 months at the rate I am now then win a holiday in Tahiti it would have paid off!

I definately think one big win would justify the effot. Or even a lot of nice little ones. Good luck

Yes I downloaded it. Lots of people on here use it. Link please someone (as I don't want to give the wrong thing) hehe. Once its set up with all your details, u can either click once and it fills it all in, or choose for it to do it automatically when the page is opened Good luck everyone! I didn't think I was going to win anything but am so pleased with how it's turned out xx

I look at my new comping efforts as an experiment for the next 6-12 months and I'll keep going even if I win jack for about that time..people who do stocks and shares or proper betting or ebaying have to put a lot to get returns, it's like a part time job.

So keep at it I say!

I'd say this is a definite hobby for me, I do it because I like it

It's so exciting when you get a phone call, a WEM (winning email) or a LWE (long white envelope) advising you of a win - it's a rush if a prize just turns up unannounced too

I think I enter around 100 a day so if this was a clinical analysis then it probably isn't worth my time, but I don't look at it that way I think I've been really lucky with the wins I have enjoyed thanks to this forum. I've also sat here with tears of laughter rolling down my face from some of the banter which goes on & felt sad to the bottom of my heart for some of the lows which have been shared.

I'm in this for the community & the rush of the win

I always click the thanks button so I know I have entered a comp but sometimes there are duplicate posts and I worry about entering the same comp twice, so I decided a few months ago to keep a log of the ones I enter.:o
I have a spreadsheet that I have open along side my comping window and it only takes a few seconds to enter details. That way I can search or sort them by website, end date, prize etc! Scarily it also records how many I enter each month, about 800! :eek:

Velvet Glove, thanks for that I am guessing it something to do with my security as it is already down as enabled, does your amazingly techy bf know how i could solve that?I would thank you...but when i press thanks the page jumps to the top!!

Download and use Roboform as well - it's a godsend, as it fills out most fields efficiently. What it misses I catch with a little word processed window with my details in - drag and drop these into the holes in the form, or - occasionally, when the form won't allow you to drag and drop - copy and paste. C & P is also useful for email entries, too.

Roboform is so much better than Autofill, and very easy to download and use. And yes, it is my new hobby too - I enjoy the process, as someone said in this forum recently.

I enter at least 100 comps a day and I have been comping since March 07 and I have been extremely lucky, my first win was within a week and it was a family holiday to India!
I do go through dry spells though, but it just makes you think that it will be your turn again soon!
I say keep at it
