Your Average Entries Per Week?

Options
Although its all down to luck, I thought it would be interesting to have an up-to-date topic on how much competitions we all enter on average a week.

It would also be also interesting to know how regular you win compared to above.

    I'll guess at about 400 per week but I just enter & forget.

    I last counted in 2010 & that was 22,000 over the year plus the ITV,TAB,Puzzler multiples.

    I get a few wins out of all those but very rarely post them to here.

    I have gone for 700 + as I can easily do 150 click to wins in just one lunch hour at work. I thin your poll would have been more interesting if you had included some even higher numbers, such as 1000 - 2000 or 2000+.

    To be honest I don't count so I haven't a clue.
    I do the mag dailies but don't ever tend to include these when asked "how many do you do a day" as you're repeating each entry every day... so I could enter say 20 mag dailies a day but that wouldn't mean I entered 140 comps a week would it!! So I exclude these.
    As regards actual individual comps, I'm quite selective and don't enter for things I don't want, so that leaves me with *at a very rough guess* between 50 - 100 a day. So would that be 300-400 a week?? Don't know, like I say I'm not interested in keeping count, I just enter whatever takes my fancy.
  • I honestly wish I knew but don't keep count. Some days I can enter 100's just on Twitter though so I guess it's probably quite a lot. :eek:

    0-300 a week currently for me.

    Too busy with the children to get any decent comp time.. but i'm not moaning ^^ my lack of entries means a fellow comping friend may be winning x
    Wishing you all good luck!

    I'd hazard a guess at well over 1000 per day - 5 days out of 7,
    (I do instants, dailies, mag dailies, c2ws and finish the boards)
    Friday I tend to just do instants, dailies and the boards.
    Saturdays I just to instants / dailies.

    I have only won once in the last two weeks but usually have several wins a week.
    2013 - 86 | 2014 - 127 | 2015 - 39 | 2016 - 22 | 2017 - 10 | 2018 - 56 | 2019 - 16 | 2020 - 4 | 2021 - 5 | 2022 - 1 win

    Yes - that is the same for me. I might enter 150 click to wins every day, but as you say, that may only be that I have entered into 30 competitions in the whole month.

    I don't actually keep count either, but I guess not including the mag daillies and click to wins, I probably only enter around 50 a day as a guesstimate.
  • On average I think I enter about 40 main board comps a day, though I've recently stopped keeping count as I felt I was getting too hung up on the numbers. So I have chosen 0-300 above. I don't count click to wins and mag dailies as they're just multiple entries into the same comp, though I also do those when I have time (probably about 3 days out of 7). I probably do about 20 or so different prizes on the mag dailies and 30 or so on the click to wins when I enter them (though some of those through multiple sites).
    2018 wins: Aspinal of London jewellery box, Boudavida gym outfit, HP Pavilion laptop, The List party tickets, All Points East festival tickets, Kiehls moisturiser, By Terry cc serum, Nars Liquid Bronzer, Benefit highlighter, Nars illuminator, Fresh advanced lip trio set, Cetaphil sample set, signed copy of My Absolute Darling by Gabriel Tallent
