What's your win to entries/time ratio?

  • I only started in mid-October. I spent my whole first day (about 7 hours - i have a LOT of spare time at work!) doing competitions from here and only entered ones i wanted to win. From just that first day i won a runners up prize of a bottle of febreze and i also won a VIP meet and greet inc. tickets and a goody bag to watch Royal Republic. Since then i have spent about 16 hours entering competitions and have won a bag of skittles and either a bottle of Bacardi Oakheart or a Bacardi Oakheart glass (the game wasn't displaying the prize properly). With so many competitions that i would like to win listed on here sometimes it seems like a mammoth task to try and enter as many as possible but then i look at the winners posts and it definitely inspires me!

    hmmmm depends on the month and if i am away or got overtime
    if i am in i do all the comps as they get listed on here
    if not i go to the last post i saw and work my way forward
    i dont win much but i get biggish prizes in general
    so a designer chair and a fridge freezer and £250 this year
    but also cinema tix and a tshirt or 3
    i reckon i have averaged a prize a month but one day this year 3 came in a day and what a day that was:T
    wish that would happen more often
    btw have been comping for more than a decade with breaks now and again so my ratio is i think around 1 prize per 2000 entries:o
    63 mortgage payments to go.

    Zero wins 2016 😥

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    I've been comping since May and have won 30 prizes. My best wins have been a £260 flight case and a break in Bristol and my smallest has to be a tin of Spam ! I spend anything from 20 mins to 4 hours a day and only enter comps for things I want/need. I make it about an average of 1 prize for every 8 hours comping approx with an average value of £20. Not the best return but it's fun checking emails and wondering if you will get a phone call or a parcel !
