I realized that these contests have some cyclic property, i.e. when you start a round (and a contest is already ongoing for a few days) you can see that, as you answer the quiz, the codes get higher and higher, especially if you answer the quiz slower. E.g. you get 10%, 10% , 25%, 35%, 35%, ...

And that's it. Then, after a little while, you start another one. Only this time you end up in another cycle, i.e. you get 35%, 45%, 45%, 55%, 55%, ...

So I think that if you always hurry to quickly enter your user data and start a new round, you'll end up doing it in the same rhythm and, thus, more or less always in the same cycle, be it the one with low or high codes (depending which one you started with).

When I get only low codes, I try to delay starting a new round, just so I could end up in another of these cycles, preferably with higher codes. It works most of the time, I can get in a rhythm of receiving 55%, 65% or 75% code almost every round.

Of course, there's always a random factor and it can happen that you get 10%, 10% and 75% after that.


I hope I was clear enough...

Keep visiting this thread - like most of us.

And be fast, because if you're not, then I'll be faster.

Are these codes for Kobo books only or for other sellers at Smashwords? I know about kobo thru SW only. Excuse my ignorance. Thanks.

They're Kobo's codes, for Kobo's store.

I just found out that if you use an ebates link, you get 7.5% off. And it's to the non coupon cost of the book. So it's additive, for 82.5% off. Kind of crazy!

Thanks for the info.

Could you post the ebates link please.

I've also noticed a cycle of similar codes, but I've put it down to lots of other people winning the codes I wasn't winning. That is, if I'm in a cycle of 'good' codes then I figured it was because other people have won the 'bad' codes and the cycle has moved onto the 'good' codes. And vice versa.

So for me it's picking a time in the day or night when the 'good' codes seem to be falling the most. And I suspect that that is when the most people are playing the Contest.

But I'm not a maths person. Maybe Paul could contribute to this discussion as well, because I think it's probably up his alley.

Oh sorry you gotta sign up with ebates and set up an account and then use your own link through there. Its like a referral link except it refers back to yourself and you get a check or Paypal payment once every quarter. ebates.com

Someone--I think on this thread has an ebates link in their sig line. I've seen it and wondered what it was, but didn't wonder hard enough to ask.

The Kobo promo codes generally don't work for the big 5 publishers, Bertelsmann/Macmillan, Random House/Penguin, Simon & Schuster, HarperCollins, and Hatchette and their subsidiaries (unless you're in India or a few other countries).

In my experience, when high valued codes occur is somewhat random, but often there is a spurt of high codes, so you might see 2 or 3 65% off codes in a 15 second window.
