Competitions Discussion Thread Part 6

Aaah I see, don't some of the free ticket ones have limits, I mean they run out but they are still free first come first served?, where do they go?

Well I thought the same, I mean they can only fill up a cinema screen with x amount of people :think:, so technically they would be limited too

Hi... I am interested in how many comps we all enter each week to win prizes. My friend has a mag which states that the (very general) rule of thumb is if you aim to enter 30 a week, you should get a steady trickle of wins. (Not sure how steady the trickle is tho!!!!). Some weeks I enter loads and others I am just to busy (job, 3 kids, hubby, dog, bla bla bla). Would love to hear what others think about this or even try and set myself some targets.

Any advice ?

Most of the regulars on here enter about 100 a DAY, generally speaking I get about 12 wins a month with an average value of around £200 (without working it out properly).

So far this year I have won nearly £5,000 worth of prizes.

If you were to enter about 30 a WEEK I don't think you'd win much IMO

It's hot and humid and I'm weary and I've just re-entered at least two comps and disqualified myself :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I'm new to this forum, and will bear that i mind, just finding my way round. Don't think I've been guilty but if so i apologise. So is the 'thanks' the best way? that way you know youve entered??

cashsaver

mmmmmm...... nothing like a warm welcome is there?

Don,t be put off Bagstaff.... if you are new, how would you know?

btw what is bumping anyway?!!!!!

cashsaver

Thank you princessmoneysaver, seems I need to "up my entries".

I think some people get annoyed with 'bumping' as it moves old comps back to the top of the board, and people may enter tham again accidently, and it also disrupts the board quite a bit.

I just look at my thanks button to make sure I dont' enter again

Btw...'Bumping' is commenting on old comps just to say 'thanks' or ' I've entered' which is a bit unnecessary really, as that's what the Thanks button is there for

I understand some new people wouldn't know so don't get too offended. Just don't do it again!! Lol

bagstaff

Hey no offence taken at all!

Its like all forums just don't want to be upsetting people, each have their own quirks, but I'm enjoying it thus far.

bagstaff

yes think I need to up my entries too, but I've just discovered roboform or whateer its called which helps. Though 100 a day no chance, unless 50 of them is this morning and tango man's real deal
