How many compititions are the winners entering?

Options
Hi. Sorry I'm new at this. I was just wondering how many compititions are the people who are actually winning, entering per day.
Plus those like me who are not winning, how many are you guys entering per day too:rotfl:

Thanks in advance to all:)

    I've won a few things, probably averages 2 wins a week when I'm in a competition phase .

    I enter well over 200 competitions a day at those times (I have long phases where I lose interest and enter very little).

    I enter hundreds a day, probably win about 1-4 things a month, rarely big prizes. Not really worth it for me to be honest but I am addicted.
    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
  • This question has been asked quite a few times in the past, and I think the answer is generally that to reap any kind of rewards the serious compers enter 300+ competitions per day!

    But even then there can be dry spells of a month or two - so nothing's guaranteed!

    Good luck anyway!

    :D
    Huge respect to all those who take the time to post competitions. You're all great! :T

    I am in a not winning phase at the moment, sadly.... haven't changed the amount I enter, still about 100 per day PLUS about 50-odd dailies, but not a whiff of a win for ages now :(

    I don't think I could either find the time to enter 300 a day, or find 300 a day that I would want the prizes from - I don't enter for just anything; only things I or my family would need or want, so that's probably why I don't win, but it's still a bit disheartening....

    I entered a lot of the advents in the run up to Christmas at least 100 comps every day and I won a NT apron. At the moment I'm entering about 40-60 a day as I only enter what I really want or need. However, after that dry phase I won a mobile phone last week so I think if you look at it, one big and one small win out of the best part of 3500-4000 comps.

    I think it's the anticipation and the addiction that keeps us all going. After all, look at Lakshmi 7 who posts hundreds of comps and won last week after no wins for 2 months. It's just your luck, really.

    After all that, enjoy, keep comping and the wins will come.

    Good luck

    Obviously nowhere near enough as I never win anything :(
    (posted a whisky comp on here not long ago and seems like everyone on MSE won apart from me :rotfl:).

    I haven't won anything for a while. My usual thing would be to do a few the night before or run through a weeks worth on a Sunday.

    Surprised people find so many to do daily. I probably find 10-30 competitions max that I enter for a day on here with prizes that I would like to win.
