    Took me all of 3 months to get 3 finger puppets, had a few wins since 2 lots of £50 ish tickets and only one real goody £150. Me also getting despondant because no wins for about 5 weeks and enter 50+ a day. Gotta keep going though because if u not innit u cant winnit.
    Forget Bigsnap. I have wasted so much time doing that wi no success, wasting time, getting behind on here, should be entering all the other comps on this site.

    Hi TraceyAnn

    I was feeling exactly the same as you and then all of a sudden I won. It was only a dvd but it was a win all the same, and I am sure theres more to come. I started doing comps to the extent I am doing them now, at the beginning of the year. So I too am a newbie. I thought at the start that it all seemed to easy and did expect the winnings to come flooding in but now I realise that it is hard work. But its hard work I enjoy, and not only that you could not wish to meet such a friendly bunch of people anywhere than you find on here.

    So don't get downhearted and persist just a little longer and I am sure you'll strike lucky sooner or later.

    I for one have my fingers crossed for you.

    Hi , don't give up, if you enjoy doing the comps then carry on you have nothing to lose.Wins can take a while to come, sometimes there are no wins for ages and then they all come at once , a bit like buses. I joined in July last year and won nothing for the first few months, but then gradually the wins started and this year I have won a few big prizes. I am glad that I didn't give up and I am sure you will be too.
    I know its disheartening to see others with a huge wins list when you have nothing. I don't think there is any knack as if there was we would all be using it, but you can't win unless your in and that first win will make all the hard work and patience worth while.
    Take care and very best of luck.

    Keep trying and dont give up, but treat it as a bit of fun rather than a full time hobby.
    Wins can take months and then you may get several but there is no real system only pot luck. You will find most of the serious compers enter over 150 a day and its still great when a win comes along no matter how small or what its value.

    Good luck :grouphug:

    keep up with the comping, dont give up, wins are like buses, none for a while then several at once! sometimes it can take the competition promotors a while to let winners know they have won. Persevere, itll be your turn to win soon:D

    Just keep on entering all the ones you want to win - don't waste time on small things you wouldn't want anyway. It took me about 2 months before I won anything at all. Make sure you don't double enter comps (and get disqualified) too by keeping record of the biggies you have entered.
    Good luck!

    Keep trying. I'm a newbie, but I'm enjoying it!
    I won tickets to my local cinema and someone broke into my car and nicked my stereo while we were watching the film!!!:mad:
    I was about to throw in the towel...but this morning I got some sweets and a Penelope T'shirt in the post. I wasn't expecting it and I was so excited!!!:j
    I can't retire on my winnings but I'm having fun and there's always the chance.....:dance:
    G'Luck All :T
