:huh: Hello every body ("hi doctor mick"), I havent been a member for too long on here but I have been entering all and any competitions for a few weeks now but have not yet won a sausage.
Could anybody tell me if there is a knack to this or is it down to luck?
I hope theres a knack to it as I've never really been a lucky person.:mad:
Any advice from fellow competition folk???

Target: £145,000 for 2008
why aim low? I want my mortgage paid for!
Otherwise... only 30 years to go to pay off!!!
Comp wins: zip, zero + other words beginning with a 'z'.:rolleyes:

just keep at it, enter as many as you can. persevere, you will soon win, wins are like buses, none for a while then several at once
remember it may take a bit from first entering to getting notification of a prize or receiving the prize as the closing dates may not have passed, then they have to draw the winners and then notify them

Hee hee - I have been comping for about a year and must be one of the unluckiest people around - i haven't won a bean and enter about 50-60 comps a week, but some people on her have won loads of things. I think its just down to luck, the more you enter the more chances you have of winning, but obviously not in my case. Hope you win something soon! Good luck.If dogs don't go to heaven, then I want to go where they go. :A0

I started in January and have just won a small thing today ... but a couple of not real wins as well i.e. make-over and photos but £50 quid deposit - had read of others not getting deposit back .... plus a money off voucher. I think time will bring more wins and persistence ...0
