Would any comper be willing to do an experiment with me?

I have read several times that we get on average 1 win for every 4000 comps we enter.

There are 25 days left in February so to enter 4000 comps I will need to enter 160 per day.

Anyone wanna do this with me see how it works out?

27 wins so far this month :T
We are averaging 1 win in every 1777 comps entered ;)

    I'm starting comping again so I'm up for giving it a try. I make it 25 days left of February from tomorrow onwards, so will make a start tomorrow (although I have entered some comps today, but haven't been counting).

    I've just downloaded a clicker app on my phone to keep track each day.

    Good luck!!

    I read in a facebook group yesterday someone saying they won 31 prizes in January, clearly they are spending all day entering competitions or are defying the odds by a big margin.

    Facebook is my weakest place for comping, I win most on Twitter but everyone is different.

    31 wins in a month....hmmm not sure about that

    I am trying for 1 win from 4000 comps in February :rotfl:
