Question Has anyone ever won using Turbo Sweeps?

I am wondering if I am wasting my time with this program.

Thanks

Big grin

I've won many, many, many, many times using turbosweeps! It just depends really on what types of sweeps you are entering. I'm not sure how long you have been using it but sometimes it takes awhile for the wins to start coming in.

Of course the choice is yours, many people just add them to their bookmarks or favorites

Totally speculation... but I figure that with all the people who use Turbosweeps it probably does take more time to win from there. What I did was delete every single sweep that they have up and add my own original ones. Once you start doing this it isn't really a big hastle. I have about 20 or so on Turbosweeps now for me and my hubbie to enter. I get them from here mostly, but also by doing searches on excite.com or such. Just a thought.

Just wanting to clarify.......Turbosweeps is not a sweeps site where you win stuff from. Turbosweeps is just a program that lets you keep track of your sweepstakes that you enter. You still have to go to each website in your list and enter it. It does not do it for you. Its kinda like its own little browser like Internet Explorer or Netscape. Its just has a little side item feature that you can see where you need to go next to fill out an entry form. It doesn't really matter how many people use the Turbosweeps program to enter sweepstakes. It matters how many people sign up for the different sweepstakes at the different sites in your list. Turbosweeps has no affiliation with the sweepstakes that you enter at all. Just wanted to make that clear. Some people may think its like EZSweeps, where they enter the sweepstakes for you. Its not like that at all.

Sandy's right! Usually when I update turbosweeps I find that I already have manually added that sweeps to my list before them.

There is a "sweeping" community just like a "freebie" one. There are many sites out there that tell you were to find contests. Turbosweeps just preloads it in for you.

We are having a discussion about macros, scripts, etc.(gator,roboform, keyboard express) you have to read the rules to see if those are allowed or not. If not you would have to manually type in your information.


Turbosweeps really is just a tool helping you to remember IF you entered a particular contest, and reminds you when it is time to enter again(daily,weekly, monthly)

Pandybat - you mentioned the EZSweeps enters for you? Is this right? If so wouldn't that be ideal?

Actually thats a whole nother story..lol EZSweeps is an automated entry site and from what I hear, is considered a no-no among sweepers. Automated means that you yourself don't actually go to the actual site to enter a sweepstakes....EZSweeps does it for you. Lots of places do not allow automated entries.

ezsweeps

ezsweeps sorts out the sites that do not allow mechanical entries from what i have seen. they have a manual sweeps section on their site and all of those sweeps I have seen there say that they do not accept automatic ( in the rules).

I use ezsweeps, turbosweeps and I have a list of dailys in explorer favorites. I mostly won on the entries put in without the programs. But that could be because less people enter the types that are not on the programs.
