How many do you enter?

I am new to the whole competition lark and haven't as yet won a bean. I was just wondering how many competitions people enter as opposed to how many they win.

Sorry if this is in the wrong bit.

I have entered about 100 so far and not a sausage.

    Just keep going ,I was comping for ages, before I had my first win.

    Some folks are very lucky .......but others like me, are plodders and just keep comping away, and every now and again something fab turns up in the post:D
    I appreciate Each and Every win. I thank every comp poster from the bottom of my heart :A

    Sounds like an excellant idea, Good Luck, do you mind if I join in?
  • I enter approx 1200-1500 a month. The amount of wins varies a lot but I've had some very good ones since I started.

    Keep going. Sometimes the first win comes quickly, sometimes it takes a couple of months but it'll be worth it in the end.

    Good luck and welcome to the comps forum.

    I started in May and entered:

    445 in May
    1518 in June
    2793 in July
    2295 so far in August

    (I'm an accountant, I just can't help but keep spreadsheets lol)

    This doesn't include instants or dailies!

    My wins are in my sig. so you can see you have to enter a fair few to win a fair amount!!!

    Still waiting on a big 'un to come my way!
    2009 Wins = £833
    2010 Wins = £6,597
    2011 Wins = £7,083

    £2,012 in 2012 = £450/£2,012
    20 in 2012 = 4/20
