Win ratio - regular compers?

2»

Comments

  • I'd find it hard to estimate ratio. As others have said, I only enter competitions for things I would like to win, either for myself or someone I know. It really does seem a matter of luck. I only treat it as a hobby and enter them when I'm happy to and stop when I get fed up. I started entering competitions about 18 months ago and have had some great wins and also some really quiet months. My best win and biggest is a trip to Chicago, flying business class and staying at a great hotel which we're taking next month, but these don't come along often so I would say just enter for fun and see what happens!

    I enter most of the competitions ending each day, I dont enter any ticket comps as I wouldnt use them, and I dont enter for things I dont need (wedding stuff, baby stuff)

    I rarely get around to the daily, weekly or monthly comps although I do play instant wins.

    Doing this I tend to win something small at least once a week. I have had a couple of £200 - £300 wins. Still waiting on a biggie but thats just a matter of time right ? :)
    Total 2019: £3972 - Best win this year £3000
    2018 total £4062/2017 total £2260/ 2016 total £2025/ 2015 total £3809.
