    At the end of the day it is all down to how many your enter, the type you enter and your luck on d-day (draw day)...I can have a lucky month followed by an unlucky month when I have not changed the type of comps I have entered or the number.
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

    do you guys use multiple emails for the same comps? I only enter prizes I'm interested in but still around 30-60 a day.

    Nope. I only ever use one email. Alot of comps are one entry per person or per household. Although, I have known people to enter for all members of their family as well as their dogs, cats, goldfish etc despite that, but if the company finds out you risk all your entries being disqualified and I just don't see what good the risk is.

    Plus, my moral compass says to only enter myself. If a competition allows multiple entries then I might enter two or three times with the same email, but only if it is allowable in the T&Cs.

    I only use one email address, but do mag dailies plus other comps, which mean I enter hundreds a day.
  • I enter hundreds every day, mostly mag dailies, and have done so for the past twelve months. I also enter at least 30 a day from this forum (thanks everyone who posts!). In November 2012, I won £250 of supermarket vouchers, and I was really chuffed. However, in the whole of 2013, I won precisely nothing, nada, zilch. It can be a little soul-destroying at times, but I am too stubborn to give in. I only enter comps for things I do actually want to win.

    How is it even possible to enter hundreds a day?Do some people just spend all day entering comps?

    I've only been doing it for a dew days, I run through the board until I get to the ones I have done the previous day.

    Are there websites that list more comps to enter that people use?

    there are thousands of comps on here, if you add in dailies, mags, click to win, puzzlers etc that's how people enter hundreds and no it doesn't take all day x

    I think if you count Daily entry comps, the Magazine daily comps and those posted/ending that day you could easily enter hundreds of comps every day if you have the time and/or inclination.
    Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to none.
