How many numbers do you enter for itv?

Options
Hey all,

I'm just going through my itv comp workload :p and was just wondering how many times do you all enter for each comp? I don't mean the 3, 5 or 6 times allowed; I mean how many different phone numbers do you enter? It seems like there are 900ish thanks on most post. I'm sure we can safely double that for the amount of lurkers. So would be good to know what the real chances are for these comps.

I myself enter 4 for me and hubby. I find it so tedious but only do it purely out of greed :D I hate it so much that I leave most till the last day and end up missing some.

    I just enter 1 number, my mobile
  • I only enter my home telephone number the maximum number of times, and have only been comping since January 2010, and I had an ITV win last year! It's just the luck of the draw I guess! :D
    Huge respect to all those who take the time to post competitions. You're all great! :T
  • Only 1, my mobile number

  • I used to enter two, but now I only enter one, I think it'll happen if it's meant too.
    Thank you, to all those who make the comps forum, what it is.

    If I have time I enter my home number and my mobile but usually just do one as I reckon the chances of winning are pretty slim!

    Depends on what it is!! If it's something I really want (£25K + or iPad etc), I enter mine and my husbands mobiles and that's it. Once I did enter another 6 with house number but so far nothing :(

    Like sineadoreb said, if it's meant to happen, even entering just once will make it happen

    Wouldn't worry about how many thank on MSE that has very little to do with the total number of entries. Apart from all the people who enter after watching the programmes there are other comp/listings sites as well.
    If itv aim to at least break even on the competitions then the big ones would need at least 100,000 paid for entries and then there are all the free entries and who knows there could be 10 times or more of those as there are paid for ones.

    I use one number.
