How important is timing on IW games and daily multiple entry?

[meeska]

What kind of timing do you go by when playing instant win games? Getting them all over at once is not really yielding any wins for me, not matter what time I play or enter. It would be more tedious but would it be worth it to spread entries out throughout the day, for both IW games and multiple daily entries? Does anyone do this with any luck? Basically I am asking you to tell me one of your secrets.

There are no secrets. There are exceptions, but usually the winning times are preselected and randomly seeded throughout the term of the sweep. Any games that are included have no bearing on the winning time. If I can, I always skip the games - they're just waste time.

Usually the first person to enter on or after the preselected winning time is the winner. Read the rules, as there are variations and exceptions. SA posted a sweep in the past where the winning time was in 10ths of a second and you had to enter exactly at that time.

If you enter when fewer people are entering and a random time is there, then you might have a better chance to win.

I've won things on instant sweeps at all hours of the day, from early in the morning to almost midnight. That said i like to enter as early in the morning as possible, the reason is that while sweepstakes do indeed give out wins randomly, many are designed to give out a maximum of 1 prize per day. This means that if a person wins that prize early in the day a billion people can enter afterwards and they will have no chance to win anything, once it's claimed, it's claimed.

The Sweeper's Credo:

Enter and forget it.

Always be happy for those who win - even when they win "your" prize - and be positive you will win.

Sweeping is a hobby that is all about timing. Especially for those elusive instants! IF you enter at the exact right moment, you will win.

If not? Sad to say you won't. But I assure you - it's nothing personal, and those who win a lot don't have any "secrets" - they are just consistent, persistent, and patient.

I really believe that if you go into it thinking you can't win, well, you'll MAKE yourself right so often you'll start believing it!!!

I truly do believe you have to have a positive attitude - don't get hung up on what others are doing - just focus on entering, then move on to something else - like posting so we can get to know you!!!

So hang in there - and enter, enter, enter - and you'll be posting a win before you know it!!! And remember - every day brings new opportunities to win!!!
