Out of interest......

How many comps do people enter, like, per day?

I don't enter them every day because I've got a full time job, three kids etc etc etc. I'd like to do them more, but the missus gets annoyed at me if i've got my head in the laptop. But I would kinda like to increase my chances of a big win.

    It varies but is between 50 - 200 a day, depending on how much time I have to dedicate to it.

    I do them every day but the amount you do doesn't increase your chances of winning, remember.
    Just stick to entering the ones you really really want to win and be mindful not to choose comps over your family :)
    I've cut down my time a bit recently. I don't have a job/family and I do probably 4 hrs per day, less on a weekend and a little more on 'busy' days like the first of the month etc
    I'm very conscious not to let comping take over my life. A real experience comes before a chance at a win.
    Thank you to everyone who posts on the competitions boards. You all rock!

    I reckon I average about 10-15 a day, max!! I get home late sometimes, and if the wifes asleep I'll do a few more. But never a huge amount.
    i was just wondering because I'm getting a little dispondant and can feel the enjoyment waining a bit. I've not had many wins, and haven't had a big win, so just getting a little......meh! about it all.

    Well I tend to enter a lot, about 50 - 100 a day but I have the luxury of working from home so I have more time than most, I can fit it around my normal work day.

    I don't comp weekends though and with a baby on the way, no doubt my comp total will decrease drastically next year :D

    I work full-time too.. so I tend to spend about 1/2hr-1hr a day entering when I get home from work - so I enter about 30-50 comps per day... which is about 200/300 a week.

    My winnings have really slowed down lately though. I only tend to win something once every 2/3 months or so. Still.. a win is a win! :)

    I don't know the number, but it takes at least two hours per day. I don't enter at the weekend though.

    I do about 50 a day, but I only enter for prizes I want or would actually use, also I don't have twitter so that cuts the amount I can enter down by a fair bit :)

    I've only been comping since June and so far I enter around 100 comps a day-not had many wins yet though.I don't mind too much , as I enjoy coming on the forum and comping has become a lovely hobby to me.
