I am new - Are MD Comps Good to Enter? Seen a few people 'skip' them?

Options
Hi there,

I'm new to comping and currently just starting on the standard online board, end date closest to today's date and work my way up

Question is about the MD comp - are these any good as I've read on here a few people skip them?

Thanks for any advice you can give!! :)

  • A good portion of my wins have come from the Mag Dailies! Some people don't enter them because they can't commit to entering them daily; and obviously, the more entries you have, the more chance you have of winning - but I do know some people have won from entering just once!

    I've won at least 6 times with the mag dailies, definitely worth entering in my opinion!

    I have been lucky with the MD comps and have won Thousands of pounds worth over the years.
    I do it just for fun and whatever I win is a bonus
  • Thanks for all your comments, I will keep doing them!

    For any wins, do they email/contact you direct or do you have to got to some sort of winners board to check?

    For me 2 to 3 wins a year and some high value prizes, definitely worth it.
