I keep a tally for all the comps I enter that year in notepad, and a list of prizes I win.

I comp slightly differently.

I open all the ones I'm interested in, but instead of entering right away, I subscribe to them.

Then I go through my subscribed list and enter and unsubscribe

This was the best way I found to keep up with the main board, yet allow myself to enter when I had time.

So it's pretty easy for me to see how many I'm adding per day just be looking at the total subscriptions

OMG, some of you are SO organised!!! I don't even bother counting or keeping a tally. I just enter those where I fancy the prize, and sit back and hope for the best.

This!!!

Whenever the question crops up of how many comps we enter, I can't answer it honestly as I have no idea, I just know it's "quite a lot" but not "loads". Some people enter every competition going, I'm not one of them - but there are still enough comps with prizes I'm interested in, so I'd ESTIMATE some days it may only be 50 unique comps, other days 150. I do the dailies too though, which add about another 100-200 entries a day, but I wouldn't count those as they are not unique comps, just more entries for one prize iyswim.
I've never thought of keeping a tally, I just know that I enter more than some people, less than some others!!

I don't keep a tally but I do know in advance roughly how many I will enter each day, due to having all my comps bookmarked in Firefox. 481 for November. and 29 to enter today, which will be the 03/11 as I enter them several days in advance.
These numbers are increasing all the time as I bookmark comps daily.

I'd rather not know. I think it'd depress me too much to know how much time and effort I've put in for very little return

I don't really keep track, but as a quick exercise I thought I'd tot up the amount of competitions I'd green-ticked for today

I estimated 150
It was actually 227

Though as it's the last day of the month this is the exception rather than the rule for me.

Does anyone keep track of the percentage they win?? I'm too scared to, haha.

I enter around 300-400 a day. Mainly because i work online so find myself drifting to do that a lot.

I definitely don't keep track, but I'd estimate it somewhere around 0.01%!!! :eek:
