so has anyone got any reliable ways to win an ipod

No 100% reliable way. What are your chances if you put in lots of entries?

Well, suppose you pick a quiet time with only 300 entries in a five min slot:

you put in 1 entry, chance = 1 in 301 (your entry plus the 300 others)

you put in 10 entries = 10 in 310 = 1 in 31

100 entries (just suppose you managed to automate it), your chance is still only 100 in 400 = 1 in 4!

If you spread your entries (ie one per 5 min slot), the chances are marginally better:

1 entry - still 1 in 301

10 separate entries = 1-((300/301)^10) = 1 in 30.55 (one win only out of 10 entries, but you could win more than once! )

100 separate entries = 1-((300/301)^100) = 1 in 3.53 (one win only out of 100 entries, but you could win more than once)

I have just had a call to say I have won. I entered at one of the so-called "busy" times so it probably doesn't make much difference.

I know how you feel, I was texting a load of codes this morning - about 4am. Not a single one came in.

My winning entry was at 4.53.pm via the website and was only my third attempt.

I have this theory (right or wrong) that Walkers graphs are a load of rubbish. I got my entry in as people were packing up to go home from work.

I wish you all the best of luck !!!
