Question
is this 4000 as a collective or individual ?0 -
If you would like to join in even if you don't comp daily or do more some days than others if you think you could enter 4000 before the end of the month post up your numbers and I will add them to the OP and see how we go“I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints.” - Billy Joel

Five joined in now, what will be interesting is to find out how many prizes we win between us all if we enter 20,000 comps :eek:“I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints.” - Billy Joel

I know not all will agree, but if I enter 200 click to wins on a Monday then the same 200 click to wins on a Tuesday I have still entered 400 competitions even if it is each one twice
I'm not sure I agree with you there.
The way I look at it, if I enter 200 click to wins on Monday, the same 200 on Tuesday, the same 200 on Wednesday, the same 200 on Thursday, and the same 200 on Friday, in the 5 days I still only be in with a chance of winning one of 200 comps, not 1000. Whereas if I'd entered 200 unique comps from the board each day, I would have entered 1000 in the 5 days and be in with a chance of one of 1000 prizes*
*let's just presume for argument's sake that every comp is a single-prize one, not "win one of 10...."
Say each one ran for a month, at the end of the month you wouldn't have entered 6000 different competitions, you'd still only have entered 200. So for that reason, I wouldn't count mag dailies, click to wins etc in any daily tally. Monthly yes as I'd count each separate comp once, but not daily.
However I've never really counted anyway so it's all moot!0 -

See that's the argument that kept me away from mag dailies for ages. I've only recently started doing them, mainly because I end date and don't like getting too far ahead of myself.
For the purposes of counting I figure we'll balance each other out - some will do loads of low value better odds comps, some will do dailies - I'm mainly in it for the counting!
Off to start, I'll be back!Comps £2016 in 2016 - 1 wins = £530 26.2%

I knew folks would disagree with me, but I respect cagsd's opinion, we just have to agree to disagree and move on like adults
We all comp differently but we all aim for the same goal“I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints.” - Billy Joel

I'm in the "if you have made 6,000 entries that's 6,000 entries and it doesn't matter how many different competitions it's for" camp.0
