    i enter as many as i can at work and then go home and make use of the wonderful roboform for as many more as i can but i cant imagine even finding 150 comps a day!!!!!!

    During any other month I can easily do over 100 a day....during December there are all the advent comps so I am doing about 50 of those on top of my normal routine! I'm not currently working so have lots of time on my hands - but I really only spend about 2 hours a day actually entering comps.

    Just enter as many as you can! The more you enter the more likely you are to win.
    :T*Thanks to all who posts comps * :j

    As kisto said, it doesn't really take that much time. I don't use roboform, or any type of autofill and enter everything manually, and I can do about 140 comps in 1 hr 30 mins or thereabouts, sometimes even faster. Depends if im taking a break or not in between. I'm a fast typer though, so i don't know if you'll be able to enter as many comps in that time. I enter for example most of the ones that end in the next few days and i also enter about 58 or so of the advent competitions, and then some of the normal dailies. I guess it all just depends if you're willing to put the time in.

    Well im a touch typist so i can fill them in pretty quick. ive changed my methods recently to enter all the ones ending in the next couple of days instead of just random ones. maybe its because i dont enter every single comp and only enter ones that i will benefit from winning. like i wont enter ones for gardening as i dont have a garden! :rotfl:

    must just be unlucky! will keep trying though. everyones winning posts on here give me faith. x

    Yeh i've changed it to that too. I don't enter everything either. Like i don't enter competitions for tickets to concerts, but i enter those for premieres to movies i want to watch like avatar, st trinians etc. And the other ones i enter are stuff i want to win for myself or family members. I think it's all just down to chance.

    *Whinge whinge*

    Have only been comping since December 1st so am whinging quietly - I hope I get my first win soon. I can't imagine entering 150 a day. I work full time and put in about 2 hrs comping in the evenings - so far I've done 156 on a good day (though I spent a lot more than 2 hours that day!) but my average is about 60. I do about 30 advent ones daily plus am working my way backwards through the big list - started on page 254 and am now at page 89. I only enter the ones where I actually want the prize - mainly travel, cash, vouchers, pamper days, hampers and games consoles - so maybe that's my problem?

    Fingers crossed for a December win.
