Mr. Sweepy's Forums

I'm becoming more and more addicted but one thing I keep in my mind is that the woman who won the Florida Keys Dream House this year only entered once! So entering once is better than never.

Grats Jacki! Winning a Mr. Sweepy t-shirt or hat is a good luck charm.... right after I won a t-shirt, I won a couple really nice sweepstakes! Good luck to you, and may all your entries be winners! :)

 Mr. Sweepy summed it up.

I'm a real junky...sometimes four hours a day. It has payed off. Three trips and tons of DVD'S and other stuff. Something in the mail 

almost every week (do freebie sites also..love the free samples).

The key for me is to multitask...watch tv..listen to music...talk on the phone. Been doing this so long (about 8 years) I have turned into

Robo contestant. When it starts to feel like work...I take off. Only entered the "new" ones on Sat & Sun. Drink a little beer..play some poker

at Joker stars and relax. This morning I was at full throttle....entering like crazy. Actually I need a new car!!!LOL 

Call me arrogant, but I expect to win and have done just that. Have to stay positive are this hobby does not fly.

Note: received a DVD in the mail Sat and put it on Ebay...up to $36 with a day to go. My wins in the past really have come in threes.

Fingers crossed for the next week!!

Best of luck to you...Two Words....Patients & Perserverance 

Thanks for posting this question, got alot of great advice from you all.

I would cry without RoboForm!!! It makes it so much easier.  And thanks MindySue for that website.  It has alot of great info =)

Hi. Thanks for sharing your valuable insights. Been doing this awhile now and have won lilttle things here and there (tool bag, free soda, disposable razor, etc.) I do it to occupy myself and dream a little as I have recently become disabled, dependent, depressed, and lost. I am blessed to have found this wonderful site and it's  caring supportive members/personnel--a ray of light in a dark world for me. Anyhow back to my question--- kblessd49@email.com

What is the "left control click method" ? Does it save  time?

I am with you smokejoe I always think in the back of my mind that I am going to win because I think positive thoughts is the key when it come to winning and a lil luck but I know its the numbers as others say.  What freebie sites do you visit to get free samples?

Sly135 on your lucky list you hold down the ctrl key and click to open up the sweepstakes in another window yes oh yes it is a real time saver to me b/c you di not have to click go back to lucky list and then click and so on. 

To improve upon the control-click method, click on 10 (or whatever your number is) and then hit F5 or refresh on the Lucky List window BEFORE going to fill in those 10 sweeps.  That way, your Lucky List is set (red/green) for when you go back to that window and you don't have to wait.

Another thing that speeds up some of the instant win sweeps is to skip playing the game, spinning the wheel, etc.  Usually, but not always, there is a statement below the game that says something like:  "If you can't see the game, click here."   They then let you know if you won or not. 

I always use RoboForm where possible and I learned a tip from Walton 39 to make it even more productive.  When filling out a sweep with RoboForm, if I have to manually select, check or uncheck a feature, answer yes or no, insert a birthdate or a phone number, answer questionnaire, etc., I simply click the SAVE button on the RoboForm tool bar before entering sweep and it updates my passcard for that sweep.  Then when I click on my RoboForm passcard for that sweep, it is filled in correctly.  This really saves a lot of time. It fills in:

• Answers to questionnaires, like Simple Green's that have to be answered each time
• Checks or unchecks boxes to make sure to opt out of newsletters, etc., like ELLE sweeps, etc. 
• Checks boxes to agree to rules
• Fills in Codes or UPC numbers
• Removes email addresses that RoboForm puts in, like on the GE sweeps
• Adds phone numbers or changes format of phone number to remove dashes, like required in HGTV sweeps. 

Four best time savers:

• Using My Lucky List
• Using RoboForm, especially with method above. 
• Opening several sweeps using the control/click method.
• Having High-Speed Internet

Quick1227, you asked a question about freebie sites.  My favorite is: http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/free-stuff

 volition.com has freebie forums, too.

Hi Jackid123, I know you have already received a lot of great info....but the proof is in the pudding, so I decided to time myself today, and here are the results:

 16 minutes to play 39 instants

19 minutes to play 72 daily sweeps

6 minutes to make 47 entries in the Six Flags/Dodge Ram unlimited sweepstakes.

 So, in 41 minutes I made a total of 158 entries.....and now I can go on with the rest of my day!!  I use all the methods that others have already mentioned, except that I am able to open closer to 20 windows at a time which really speeds me along!

Have a good day and congrats on winning the question of the month!

It does take me a little while to enter all the sweeps -- usually over 200, but I need to drop a few pounds so instead of sitting and vegging in front of the TV from 9 to midnight I sit at the computer and enter sweeps.  I have actually lost 15 lbs. already, so I don't mind the time it takes me.  I use Google Autofill and it speeds it up the process which allows me to then scour the internet for more sweeps!  Also, I really spend extra time on the computer on Monday nights when my hubby & the kids (all boys) sit and watch the Football game!
