    Can I ask how often do you win?
  • Well...I started about 6 weeks ago and have won a PS3 and a PS2 game. I'm not sure if this is just beginner's luck...

    I enter as many as I can, for prizes that I would be able to make use of (either myself or as presents). Wins vary though, sometimes there are none for a while and then a few at once

    I enter all that have a prize either myself, family or friends could use which sometimes is more then 20 a day :eek: I have been comping since about end of April and I have been very lucky with the wins almost every week have won at least one prize, mainly tickets to concerts etc, still waiting for TV or holiday ;)
    What we see depends mainly on what we look for

    I enter almost anythnig that I can use for myself, as presents or can sell, so probably enter anything from 250 to 500+ a week. I do a few in the morning while the kids are busy, some while they are eating lunch and the rest after they are in bed. The use of roboform has made it much quicker and easier to enter comps. Having said that, you don't seem to win more for entering more. I haven't won a thing this week (yet! Waiting on postie this morning). Still, I have a couple of prizes that are being put aside for xmas gifts for the kids in the family, so that will make things easier then and I can live in hope of my first big win!

    I do about 90 per day, 2700 per month, so at any time i'm in 0000's of draws. Takes about 1.5 hrs per day, but earns me so far nearly £5 p/hr in goods and ebay resell, and you never know what the next big un might be :D

    It really depends... There are days I can enter 150 but some days I can't be bothered to enter at all.

    I've got a full time job and consider comping as a hobby. I've been comping for 1 1/2 year and I reckon I won prizes worth £2000 (TV 32'' and break in Scotland the biggest prizes).


    Enjoy comping and good luck ;)

    It all depends on how much time i've got, though at the moment I seem to be spending a few hours a day on this site. I mainly tend to just enter the prize draw comps, as im hopeless at the caption competitions and my tie-breakers arn't up to much either! but then a lot of people are like me so in a way you've got a better chance of winning if you do enter those type of comps. Ive only been on here a few months and I've had some terrific wins in June. Good Luck to You :)
