Comping- not having much luck

  • For me it is a hobby and not a form of income or guarantee of winning anything at all.
  • I've been feeling a bit the same as haven't had many wins of late. Upon reflection though I've had some lovely wins in 2018 (£100 cheque in the post, a spa day and £150 spends and other nice smaller wins) and am just trying to remind myself that I am doing it for fun and when I win its a lovely surprise, but not to expect it :) Hope you have a nice win soon to perk you up!
    Well this is fun :)

    I had a break mid-year because I wasn't winning anything. I started entering again late September but nothing until last week.

    I received a runner-up email on one of the mag dallies- a 20% off voucher when I spent a certain amount. :(

    I feel the same. I've been comping again for 7 months after a 2 year break. Back then i worked out my success rate was 1 win every 2000 competitions entered it's definitely a lot less now but i haven't won anything at all in 7 months. I'll keep going though as i've had some amazing wins in my comping history.
