    I enter about 50-100 a day and won 7 small things in 2 years.
    So i'm not really in a position to offer any advice, but i wish you lots of luck

    Not even sure how many I enter a day. Depends what is up for winning I guess as I am not really interested in entering competitions just for the hell of it. Maybe roughly around 20-30 a day if I find ones that interest me.
  • random question - how many competitions are people entering each day?

    I try and enter around 25 a day. Have usually won 2 small ones a month. Had a big win of a Kids Bike & Helmet and accessories back in September 2011 which got me back into comping after a bit of a break. I think the more you do the more chance you have of winning. Good Luck with your comping.

    I spend most evenings comping (around 3-4 hours). Not sure how many I enter but probably around 60 each night maybe between MSE, Facebook and Twitter but it does vary and I do less on some evenings.

    I am happy with my wins - last year averaged one good win a month and a few bits and pieces as well.

    This year has been a bit more patchy -won in January then nothing until April but have somehow managed to bag myself two ipads this year!

    I do believe that the more you do the more likely you are to win -law of averages and all that but it also comes down to luck as well I think.

    Good luck to you :)

    I enter in the mornings and evenings, if i am home not doing much else then I will enter through out the day. So you're talking about 300 a day, maybe more. I have cut right down now as hardly winning anything, so not investing much time in it. I only enter a few dailies and don't do postals anymore.
    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

    Thanks to everyone who posts competitions. You are the stars of the board :T:j:T

    I dont enter if there is one prize only as I never ever won them. What about you? I am just wondering if there are some comps where more chances to win??

    I enter most things that I would like to win. I leave the holidays abroad as most of them are for couples and I couldn't afford to pay for my son to come with. I do go for the ones in the Uk though as often they will let a toddler come with you for no extra charge or a small extra charge.

    I try for the big prizes and the small one's because I feel that you have to be in it to win it. You have as much chance of winning as anyone else. I do as much as I can in the time that I have but do prioritise. If there is more than one prize well it makes sense that you will have more chance but that doesn't stop me from entering other ones.

    If I was you I would give them go - you never know. Good luck to you.
