    Hi Forum,

    Pretty new to the whole competitioning and was wondering how many competitions you all enter daily?

    I enter on average about 40 - 60 daily.. is this enough to have a good chance of winning at some point?

    Thanks all!! :)

    Look forward to your replies.

    It's just a numbers game in the end but each comp is a new start.

    I'd say just enter at the pace that you feel ok with & be happy at that.

    When I first started in 2008 I entered about 100 per week but won a NY holiday & lots more.

    I haven't entered many at all lately, except for twitter and have had a few smaller wins from those.

    If you enter 20 - 40 per day and they are all big prizes, like the ITV competitions, then you are unlikely to have many (if any) wins. If you enter 20 - 40 per day and the prizes are for example win one of 200 mascara's, then you are more likely to win something. I would suggest that in order to keep you motivated, you enter a mixture of comps for bigger prizes and those for smaller prizes that have less entries.

    hiya & welcome :wave:
    think i average around roughly 100/200 a day now
    that's including all the dailies i want to enter,
    though it's hard to keep check realy,
    as the figures change because there's also on the weekday weeklies/monthly puzzler threads which will add more on the day/s you're entering, postal/text comps vary daily as some are posted some days & then loads of them the next day :eek:
    i enter for lots of small prizes for friends/family & of course the big ones :D
    my advice for what it's worth :o
    just enter how many you feel comfortable with & for which prize/s you may wish to win,
    fingers crossed for you xxx
    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png

    I do a daily set, so around 15-25 depending on ones I want to enter, then twitter via my mobile - which can be anywhere from 10-80 and then MSE on the evenings, which can range from 20-80 depending on how much time I get, sometimes more sometimes less.

    On days where I am studying though its just dailies and twitter, with the rare comp I spot elsewhere. I aim for one win a month, and have always had that. Even a money off token or freebie is worth it.

    The very best of luck to you xx

    OOh I forgot to mention, because I think it is important. I swap all my supermarket regulars to alternatives if a competition is running on the package, This way we get a variety of products and I like the feel of physically holding an entry. Entering that unique code etc..
    Wishing you all good luck!

    I enter around 75 -100 a day and have had quite a few wins, then again my Daughter and her friend only enter holiday comps, about 5 or 6 a week and have won a trip to Memphis a trip to Grenada and a cruise to New York. Every comp is a one off, so entering 1,000 a day just gives you the same chance in each comp as if you entered 10 a day, if that makes sense.

  • I enter around 20 dailies a day and then another 50-100 that end in 2 days from that day. Then I also enter whatever I see on Twitter/Facebook. On days when I have spare time I go through and enter (or do extra entries) to the blog comps in the Daily thread and also do some entries to the Mag comps in there too.

    Good luck :)

    May you all have lots of luck, Emma xx
  • I enter about 30 dailies a day and then another 30-100 a day depends on what time I have to do them in. Today Im fairly busy so wont enter many at all.

    I enter for anything that I think I will use or could give away to family or friends. There are more comps I dont enter than those I do.
    Current Aims: Laptop/PC, decent money, holiday
    Best Wins: Ipad, Nintendo 3DS, £400 Shopping Spree at LK Bennett, £100 Boots vouchers
    Total Wins (Since April 2012) £3442.56
    Big thanks to all who post comps :T:beer:
