I've noticed that whenever I mention my own winning when people have asked for help on winning themselves, or when I just mention the fact that I've won once before, I don't win!

On the rare occasions where I haven't even hinted about winning I won a game!

Is mentioning a win at all lowering chances of winning?

Makes sense, if you boast about winning = you win gameaday
If you complain about winning = win gameaday

But seriously, Im sure the best article wins, its just nobody likes a boaster!

They judge Gameaday blind now y'know!

By that I mean that they don't look at who posted what.

One of them picks half a dozen or so decent posts, takes out the name, and the other judges which is better.

I don't boast about me winning!

If I mention it at all it's intended to be helpful to others (like when they ask people how they won, etc)

But It wouldn't suprise me if the winner is actually chosen randomly by computer!

It doesn't matter what anyone says, I've seen some pretty crap posts win before!
