Has anybody actually ever won anything from the ybw competition page on here, or am i just an old cynic who thinks they are just a con for getting contact details? has anyone ever won anything even if they ticked all the "no dont post me junk mail / offers , don't call me or email me either thankyou" boxes??
 
Can't comment on ybw, but a few years ago i had a letter from Topgear saying to contact them because i'd won something... Expecting a bottle of dodgy autoglym and a couple of yellow dusters, i responded (yellow dusters are expensive!) to low and behold be sent a £400 car stereo!

Bonus!

Must have been something else that turned me in to a synic later on....

simply weight up the value of your e-mail address submited , divided by your odds of winning x pie + 3.

P.S - Be interested also if the "Do not contact me for marketing reasons" also automatically disqualifies you from winning, but ensures your address is sold on.
 
MMMmmm the longer this runs without a positive reply the more cynical we become.
dya think i might win one of the handheld vhf sets that are on offer this month for advertising on here (or a pay off to shut up and go away??)
 
I've won several times. Multigadget thingy, forward looking sonar etc, though I've not entered for ages, so must do again.

Why are you so paranoid? /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I only entered for them, when Kim (the then moderator and editor) commented that sometimes they had more prizes than entrants, and it paid off quickly. That was a long time ago, and with the numbers here now, the chances of winning are far less.
