When to submit an entry?
I can't find the thread but I remember someone suggesting that entries that were put in at the last minute might have a greater chance of winning. Has
anyone had success with this method recently?
Thanks for your thoughts |

My motto is 'DO IT NOW' cause if I leave it for later it may never be done. Personally I don't think it has any effect at all but in saying that I'm
not exactly rolling in cars if you know what I mean. |

The Do It NOw motto works for me - I've lost count of the times I've left things to put in at the last minute and then missed it totally. I have
never won anything major doing it at the last minute - a couple of smaller things like tickets etc - which I have also won by putting in an entry
whenever. |

Mine are mostly last minute entries.. not because I think that might be luckly.. more because I just can't keep up with all the comps!! |

Im sure some have won by entering last minute and some have won by entering early and others in the middle. If you have more than one entry your not
going to know which one won anyway.
They are supposed to be electronically randomly drawn anyhow.
I find leaving them late in the comp caught out. Too often they close early or I forget. I cant find the receipt. |

I do them all over the place too. 25WOL I tend to do start, middle & end depending on length of comp window & how many entries you're allowed
to do & yes, I might have trouble remembering to do them if I leave it too late...but sometimes I choose the end, sometimes not!!!

I do random throughout the comp. But I know a person who won the ford berry juice comp (car) and put in one entry three days before the end. But who
knows? |

Thanks for your thoughts. I think comping has changed over the last few years. People used to think that with having your entry on the top of that
last mail bag or in mail bags from different locations helped.
I've rejoined after a few years in the wilderness and it's nice to be back |

Works for me. |

I found that when I started leaving them until the last minute, you would end up with heaps of competitions ending early, or the closing time hasn't
been put in the heading so it closed at 8am or something before you got to it. |

I've been burnt so often leaving it til the last minute and finding it has closed I try to do the comps I'm really keen on early. Having said that I
always end up with a long list of comps to enter at the last minute! I can honestly say in the last 8 years of comping I have never won anything
decent from the comps I enter on the closing date. Doesn't stop me frantically entering on the last day of each month.
