How do YOU comp?

Picking up from a statement made by Renegadia a few days ago...

Would you rather enter 1 competition 50 times or do 50 competitions once?

Myself personally I enter the daily comps once a week, the magazine comps once a week, the weekly comps once a week and work on the regular comps if and when I have time.

So I am a 50 comps once kinda person

:D

    I try to enter the daily magazine comps every day but don't beat myself up about it if I miss a day or 2. I enter all of the weekly magazine comps every week. I try to enter all the weekly/daily comps that i'm interested in weekly/daily if I get chance, again I don't beat myself up if I miss a day.

    I'm currently 7 days behind on the main board comps due to various things but i'm normally pretty up to date, just had a few things going on which has meant real life has got in the way :eek:

    I'd rather enter 50 competitions once. I've won a couple of times on the Mag dailies - entering each competition once! I enter weekly and other dailies if I remember but not bothered (unless it's something like an iPad a day!) x

    I think it's best to share your comps than to put in all in one basket - like the saying :) x

    nelie I enter the magazine comps once a week, they run for a month??

    So that means I enter maybe 4 times for each prize I like over a month and I have had 3 very nice wins in 4 months :D

    It only takes one entry to win :T

    It depends on the comp as well. Would you rather enter 100 times for a case of energy drink or 100 times for a TV and iPad

    I tend to enter whatever comps are ending on each day, if you get me?

    Is this a silly way of doing it?

    50 Comps once. I hate multiple entries, should be 1 entry per comp everywhere. If you get lucky you get lucky. The only ones I do multiple times are the ITV when it has so many entries per number, and even then I can't be bothered doing 6. I really don't see the point in multiple entries.
