Lately, I've been concentrating a lot more on the IW's. I'm often up really late, so the odds are supposedly better. Is this too simple, or is it true that if there was only ONE IW a day for any sweep, and a person posted that they won @ 2:00 P.M., then there would be no point in entering that sweep for the rest of that afternoon or evening?? And if there was ONE every HOUR, and people posted they won at 3:05P.M., we should wait till 4:00 to enter again?? Now to convince everyone that we'd all be helping each other out by doing this, is another story! J.
Good point about knowing if a daily or hourly prize has already been won so you won't waste your time.
It is one approach, and it makes sense, but it wouldn't work for me. While some people may find it helpful, it could be easier just to click and enter at the most convenient time for you, because many instant wins also have a grand prize, and logging in to the instant win is also the means of entry for the GP. So, you would need to keep track of which listings are just IWs vs which are IW with GP, then keep track if someone posted a win for the day or hour...and that information would be incomplete. [It would only include sweepers from SA who post their wins (either in comments or in the forum); it would not include sweepers from other sites or no sites. It would not include sweepers from SA who post wins only
after they receive them, which could be 6-8 weeks after the sweeps ends.] I think it would be easier just to play the instant, even if you get a "Sorry, try again" instead of checking for all that info which would be incomplete anyway.
Thank you for sharing your idea. If it works for you and others, then try it and GL! We are all different and find the style that works for us.
