Hi All,
Are any of these companies any good or all a con? I signed up to Capital Carp Competitions and You win competitions and spent a tenner on each, won nothing as expected but now I seem to be getting daily emails from both of them so I'm getting a bit sick it now.
It's just glorified gambling at the end of the day... no idea what the odds are but for someone like me that may have a dabble every now and then I just think I may unsubscribe and see if I can close my account.
Any users here?

It's just luck of the draw like with anything gambling . i've seen from the capital competition facebook page people win 2/3 of the RT7 baitboats at times their lucks just been in not that i would want an RT7 boat would rather have cash alternative. I've never won anything as yet but only put £5 or so on every so often on the instant wins section . i would just unsubscribe from the emails thankfully i never get any emails

It's just another form of gambling. Definitely not for me.

I haven't done any of the carp comps but have on the PTM tool ones and won a few times but probably spent double than the amount I've won back.
My mate won £600 cash on the capital free entry comp so yes to answer the question they are legit but depends how lucky you are...I am not 🤣

Its defo adictive gambling but a m8 of mine won a VW van in that capitol fishing one so made his day. Also a family member has won 1000 quid for air b and b and multiple other stuff on a similar one unrelated to fishing.

I m really anti these type of things - I bet on football occasionally- do the lottery and the grand national etc but these type of draws (not just fishing) are for me the worst form of luck based gambling and not even for a good cause.
They are based purely on envy and desire. The Omaze house and lifestyle ones make me so sad, that there are people who can't afford to los money gambling on the lifestyle they have always wanted, and the companies offset this with a charitable donation.
I get it's a bit of fun, but the marketing and addictive nature of them I don't like. Recognise it for what it is - a very small chance to get lucky - no charitable intent, no investment back into the sport, just profit based gambling. If you wouldn't go into a bookies and play the slot machine (because that's dirty gambling) I worry for some folks on these type of things.
It will just be a phase, like many things that suit the times we live in.
I think I said on another thread, why not get all your mates, to whack £50 in the middle and draw a winner from the hat, you all have an equal chance and 100% of the money is the prize - most wouldn't as it's not a seductive as a house or Basia reels.
Righti off to put this weeks benefit payment on the 4-15 at Haydock

Anyone associated with this should hang their heads in shame. They are literally hanging some of their fellow anglers out to dry. Gambling is a terrible addiction. The more you do it, the worse, the odds get. I've seen the damage that this type of garbage can do and it's a ****ing disgrace.

People need to take responsibility for their actions, if they fail, that's just their tough ****.
I'm going back to the mayhem, HNY all.

Competitions and Underwater films are now the in-vogue things, because they've got **** all else to push on you these days.
