so far I have entered about 300 comps and won 4 (mars balls). so mine is 75/1

I am really interested to hear what your entry to win ratio works out as.

Thanks

    To be perfectly honest with you, my ratio is less than that!! I enter around 500 competitions a week but don't seem to have that much luck.

    I make yours 196/1 which I think is pretty encouraging to be honest. I have no idea how on earth you managed to enter 5500 comps in that short space of time. I'm struggling to find 100 a week.

    Well done to you thought

    Crikey, I think mine is closer to 1000/1, but then I guess it depends whether the competitions are popular ones or not.

    A huge thank you to all who post the comps and deals that make life so much fun!
