    well done to everyone on their wins, how many comps do people enter weekly? Ive only had one win this month so was wondering how many comps i need to enter to up my chances of winning. :)

    Thanks

    It's all down to lady luck at the end of the day. The more competitions you enter the more likely you are to win something...of course not necessarily something you want :D Some people recommend entering competitions that have fewer hits, as you may stand an even greater chance of winning, but they are usually less desirable or less expensive prizes...but sometimes winning even a keyring provides a boost to ones day and the impetus to keep going!

    I enter most competitions, unless I simply don't want the prize, or its geographically inaccessible to me, or would end up costing me more to take advantage of it (like some of the short breaks for example).

    Competitions are a hobby and you shuld only do it if you enjoy the process, and don't expect a return...for me the promise of something arriving in the post is enough to keep me going...even thrugh the dry patches! :)

    I don't have time to enter that many at the moment, maybe about 20 a week max but still do quite well as the ones I win from are usually the ones where effort is required. No where near as many people enter them so you have a better chance. x
