I won big on another site, but since then can't even win an instant win games. Wonder if these instants
are rigged.

Re: Join the "Sweeps Slump" Club
I must be the unluckiest person EVER. I started entering sweepstakes at the beginning of the year, won a DVD after about a week and was so excited because I thought my luck was turning around. Since then NOTHING.....and I literally enter HUNDREDS of sweepstakes every single day. Ugh, I'm getting really frustrated. Maybe I should just quit wasting my time and actually spend it with my family instead, hee hee!! Was hoping to win a family cruise for that
:tongue2:

The same people seem to always win, it's very boring.

Re: Join the "Sweeps Slump" Club
I remember when I noticed that - about 1 month in I think? :scratch:
It was incredibly frustrating because there wasn't anybody who bothered to point out that it just seemed that that was true - that because so many didn't post wins, the ones who did seemed to win ALL the time!
I also later experienced it - after about 6 months, I finally won, then it was like the dam broke, and I'd win lots of little prizes, numerous times a week - sometimes in one day!!!
Of course, this ended, but it sure was fun! Then I went through a 6 week drought, ended by my first big win, a $700 camera, and I remember thinking, I'd rather win less often if they were bigger & better prizes.
Anyway, I came up with the sweepers credo to try to get this across to other sweepers - what others' do really doesn't matter:
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.
The sweepers credo? Enter and forget it. Always be happy for those that win - even when they win "your" prize - and be positive you will win.
Reminding myself of the sweepers credo is how I keep my positive attitude, and my sanity.
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!!!
Hang in there - and enter, enter, enter - you'll be posting a win before you know it!!! And remember - every day brings new opportunities to win!!!
ALSO: Some see sweeping as a zero sum game, where if I win, you lose, but I view it a bit differently - opportunities abound for those willing to commit the time & energy, and while it doesn't give a return equal to our input, if we are consistent, persistent, and patient, the possibilities are endless!!!

Re: Join the "Sweeps Slump" Club
I want to join! I haven't won anything in over a year! Talk about a slump! I keep thinking I'm doing something wrong. I have missed entering a couple of days maybe that is why I can't seem to win anymore?
Anyway, I sure hope my luck changes because this is really depressing! Good Luck to everyone!!!
Here it is 5 months later, and I'm not winning anything. Getting more depressed by the day!

Re: Join the "Sweeps Slump" Club
I can't win anything!!! I have been doing this for 4 years, enter ALL the one entries, and probably about 100 daily contests a week. And I have won about 8 things..... The most valuable being $100. I think it is about time to give up. I am just not lucky

Re: Join the "Sweeps Slump" Club
krisandkeith - I rarely enter 1x's, and I change up when and what I enter, and in what order I enter them from day to day, and hope I enter at just the right time!
Most times, it doesn't work, but on occasion, it does.
Take a break - you might just get a surprise win that will motivate you to start back up!!!
If not? You have to decide if it's worth your time/energy - this hobby asks MUCH more from *most* of us than it gives in return

Re: Whine Thread 2008
Here's a list of sweeps, that hate me:
Ghirardelli
Lindt
AAA
Chevron
State Farm
Dove (unilever)
Carhartt
Nationwide
Progressive
Mars Inc. M&M's
Scotts LLC
I don't know the reason why, but they definitely hate me. They come out with a new sweeps yearly, they give away lots of prizes, I play them everyday, but have never won. Thanks, I feel better, now.
