What's your win to entries/time ratio?

I'm new to this comp entering lark, no wins as yet.
Just wondering from people's experiences and I know it differs from person to person roughly how many competitions you enter/ how long you spend on entries for every win?
Also do you find the dailies or general competitions give you more success?

I enter about 100 a day and would say 3 wins in an average month, so that's 3000 entries in a month and one win every 1000.About 2 hours a day spent.
They may only be small wins.The last biggish win I had was £250 cash in July.
I started comping 6 months ago and have not had a bigger win than that.I won another £200 the week before the £250, that's how it can go when your lucks in.
About half the wins come from facebook, although they all come from links from this site.0 -

since i started back comping mid sepember i have had a total of 12 wins. that was about 2 hours a day comping during the week (approx 150-200 comps) and probably about 3/4 over saturdays and sundays (approx 350-500).
out of those wins my biggest was a wii console and 3 games.
I did have 2 weeks of not entering any at all in October.
i dont expect to win anything , its just a nice suprise when i dowould love to win an ipad!

Since December last year to beginning of October probably 40-50 comps a day and no wins.
Then the last month 5 prizes.
Generally only enter comps I want to win and not just because it's a comp. As a result, they usually also have more entrants.0 -
I only enter comps that I really want so my entries are slightly limited in that sense (I dont do holidays or spa breaks away as I have 2 young children and would miss them lots...the only exception being disney themed ones lol)
I probably spend 1-2hours a night entering comps if I have time and its usally just the ones that end the next day. If I have time in the day I enter facebook and twitter ones (i have the most luck with facebook comps too!)
I have won something every month since starting last year, and have been blessed with having some fantastic wins!
No idea what my win/time/entrie ratio is is. Probably something like 1 in 100?
Good luck and hope you do well. x0 -
Started beginning of August this year, not sure how many I enter a day but probably spend total 1-2 hours at least on them, haven't won anything yet.0
