Just picture the situation where you make 99,999 entries to a comp with only one prize, and there's just one other entry. Despite odds of 99,999 to one, if that other entry is pulled out of the hat you still won't win! So you can improve your chances by making bulk entries, but you can never be certain of winning.

Every time I finished a housework task when i wasn't working, id check the time and enter single mindedly for about a week .. and my efforts paid off as I did win a break for the family. With two teenagers just finishing school at the time it was a nice way to spend quality time with them before I became too uncool to hang out with! :)Mountaingoathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459623332030209726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7880616829755966948.post-76810776826304710992011-08-02T18:52:31.597+01:002011-08-02T18:52:31.597+01:00Alot dont like talking about this, I have asked ma...Alot dont like talking about this, I have asked many times in the past about competitions such as the Lucozade, Robinsons laptop - free to enter hourly ones. <br /><br />On these types of hourly ones I enter for both me and hubby, we won a tennis kit so they didnt exlude us. Other competitions however I enter for just me, just once. I dont have time to do anymore than that. I have three phones, One landline two mobiles, (old and new) which I use for ITV comps (Entered online for free) and rarely do text contests unless they cost less than 25p. <br /><br />I had a stint of entering via post - and spent around £100 on stamps, but gave up after being told that my home made post cards were likely to have been thrown away at the sorting office (They were correct size - some cereal boxes etc - recycling for the win!) so I lost heart there and was a little dissapointed that I may not have even been entered. <br /><br />After ditching postals, I took to entering blog ones, and voila!! Have found some awesome places to read up information, like your blog and Super Lucky!! <br /><br />On twitter - I copy and paste competitions that I spot others have posted, sometimes doubling up by accident - but would never spam a contest. I also RT most of the things that Competition Club show, they are an awesome resource for twitter and I have won a few bits thanks to them. <br /><br />On facebook - there are simply too many to enter and keep track of, I have heard of people missing wins and losing out on the prizes, so I just hope that if I win they either message me of a friend spots it and lets me know (They have in the past, karma to them!) <br /><br />My children sometimes join in, My daughter won an awesome competition last year and was in the newspaper for it, recieved an award from school and scooped £200 worth of toys! My three year old son also won some Scooby Doo DVDs for his colouring on Facebook and my daughter won £10 Iceland vouchers for simply eating thier products!! <br /><br />On a final note, vote type competitions should be wiped off the face of the earth. Dont touch them! They are evil! I have watched people tear chunks out of each other, and the effort could have been spend on hundreds of other contests instead! <br /><br />Much love and luck xxRachael https://www.blogger.com/profile/12235881967301022403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7880616829755966948.post-34186464975533803562011-07-24T21:31:32.552+01:002011-07-24T21:31:32.552+01:00mutter mutter IP poloce!
