Hi all. Been doing competitions now for some time, Maybe 6 months to be exact a not won a single sausage. Has anyone actually won on any of these competitions. I want to know if its worth my time or not. Thanks

How many do you do?

I used to comp and to win regularly you need to be entering 20-30 a day

In my signature you can see how many wins I've had! All my wins have been from competitions posted on this site! I would definitely encourage you not to give up, when I started comping I didn't win anything for almost a year, but then all of a sudden I had wins monthly! Keep persevering and I'm sure you will get a win sooner or later! Fingers crossed for you 🤞

I only started last December (did a lot of the advent comps and won nothing).

Since then I have been really lucky and won several comps. I only ever enter Free comps and my best win in this very short time, compared to some other compers on here, is £1000!

If you check out the I WON I WON board you will see some of the wins from compers on here although clearly all wins are not posted.

Don't give up as the saying goes you have got to be in it to win it!

Yes I've won loads this month. People win on comps. You have to be in it to win it.

It's worth mentioning that you've also spent loads. Between £50 and £180 a week if I remember right!

Some people have been doing comps for many years and only win occasionally, some people win regularly. Depends how many you do, which type you do, how popular the comp is which affects the odds of winning.

Up to 2012 I would enter around 18000 - 20000 comps a year with a win ratio of about 1/1000. The number of entries has declined over the years and since then overall the win ratio is around 1/2000 though it has improved in recent years

Random draw comps are just down to luck, if you want to have more chance you need to search out those that require skill to enter as they are likely to have less entries

I count pay to enter as raffles or gambling not real competitions which should be free to enter
