Contest Queen

I like the positive attitude of the “Contest Queen” book. It actually indicated that you can improve your chances of winning.

In a purely math sense, there is no way that any tip will. The only tips that are true are the obvious ones. You do have to enter to win. The more times you enter, the better chance you have to win. Those all address the basic math issue of odds and probability, which was one class I did not agree with or like.

The “Queen” has supposedly won “a new luxury automobile, a $10,000 shopping spree, a trip to the Olympics in Australia” totally $150,000. The book includes “successful gimmicks and strategies for winning”, “how to find the best contests, what judges look for, and how to create the winning entry” plus “how to get on TV game shows, and how to make Internet contesting pay off”. Those last statement clearly indicate items that don’t deal with the numbers side of contests.

If it “works for you” or fits your goal and plan of action, then go ahead and read the book!

Best Sweepstakes Newsletter

The Best Sweepstakes Newsletter has been recommended by readers as the best source of up to date information for contests and tips on winning. If you want to spend money for tips, that is your choice.

An enhancement that was noted is “They have even recently added the send in for codes special entry/ instant win sweeps in addition to the skills contests”. Another positive comment was “I like a Newsletter that has BIG prizes in it and not mickey-mouse prizes”.

My personal viewpoint is that winning contests is all a matter of luck. Mathematically, in a fair playing field, your chance of winning with one entry is a simple percentage of the total number of entries for the contest. The more entries you do, the better odd you have to win.

Luck is merely a matter of whether you are the “one in a million” or if someone happens to be that person.
