Steve,
Personally I if it came down to a shit or bust method to win or have a nice days fishing catching bits if I definately thought I could win from a peg I would fish to win ... maybe if I was still blanking with an hour to go and there were a few weights elsewhere and all chances of winning had gone then I would fish for bits and enjoy myself - but if you have a chance to win then stick with it.
You are right about that "you could miss your chance" this is in my opinion the differnce between those that win regularly and those that dont.
Often at this time of year there is a particular time in the match that is more likely to throw up a carp - for example at gold valley when it gets to two oclock its carp oclock! Thats when everyone gets one if they are going to, so you might find at your venue it may be worth fishing for bits for an hour or two of the match and spending the rest of the time sitting.
