Unlimited entries - how many?

there are a number of unlimited entry comp on her (Celebrity Angels is one company doing this) these are in dailies but I was wondering how many times people enter these daily?

I know it only takes one entry to win but obviously if you enter 30 times & other people are entering 300 the odd against your on being picked out decrease.

    There is/was a Facebook comp for a handbag with unlimited entries. I put in a few entries and got bored so stopped. It really depends on how much you want to win but for smaller items, it doesn't seem worthwhile as someone may have an automated way to do it and "cheat"

    One entry if any, I don't normally touch them as there will almost certainly be some people who do 100's or 1,000's of entries (I don't think much of any company that allows it either).
    I would rather have 1 entry in 100 different competitions than put 100 into just 1.

    Me too. I very rarely do them. Also because they are so often for smaller prizes. I'm constantly curious about why smaller prizes comps so often demand more effort. I sometimes do comps where you can enter 100 times, like the Nisa ones. For those I might get up to around 30 entries, until I get bored.

    The first prize I won (a blender) was actually from an unlimited entry competition however I only entered 4 times. So you don't need to enter loads to win :-).

    I do tend to do quite a few entries on the ones like Nisa / Loco where they allow 100 entries - I don't count, but I often do a few a day so it's spread out throughout the month. But ones that are unlimited entry? I try to stay away from them if poss, my reasoning being that even if I sat and entered over and over again, and clocked up 500 entries a day, there could still be someone doing 1000s more, and it would just be a waste of my time!
    I do wish though that ALL comps were just one entry each. It would make things so much easier!
  • I too won a good prize from an unlimited entry comp. I hardly entered. It was a game on FB to win an ipad. There was a random draw every week. I only played a couple of times (wont be anywhere near as many times as others would have played) and I won. I do the unlimited entries once a day, but enter the Nisa/Loco ones 100 times (5 times a day and keep a note) not won one of those yet though.
    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:
  • Usually I just bookmark them and add them into my daily comp routine just doing them once a day until the comp ends x

    May you all have lots of luck, Emma xx
