How many times do people enter multiple entry comps

faerielight

I'm curious, How many times do you enter comps that allow multiple entries?

Sometimes only one sometimes lots.
Depends how much I want the prize.
I have entered and won a case of crisps this week on the Walkers bring it back comp. Made about a 100 entries for this one.

For the walkers crisps I have won twice and since the competition have been running I have made around 5,000 entries.

i sometimes wonder if it is worth entering multiple entries at all, cos there will always be people that enter hundreds/thousands of time or even have auto entries set up, where as i just dont have time/patience for any of that! lol

but i generally enter once just so i am in it to win it you never know, it could be destined that i win that prize

That's the way I look at it, if it's one entry per person or a multiple with a limit of say 5 or 6 entries then I have as much chance of winning as anyone else.
With unlimited entries I might put in one or two but there are people who will enter 100's/1,000's of times and for me that would either mean missing far too many other competitions or spending far too much time comping.

I won an ITV comp way back in 2008, in those days you could enter the ITV ones 30 times:eek: you had Deal or no Deal, Loose Women etc.:o... I used to feel obliged to enter 30 times, but it did pay off:D

When they say "you can enter as many times as you like" I either don't bother, or just do one entry and forget about it - as has been said above, there are bound to be people who take the words literally and enter 1000s of times. I don't think it's worth trying to compete with that, and I don't have the time to anyway, so I just stick to one entry and think that if I'm meant to win it, I will.
Where there are a set number of entries allowed (eg. 5 on the few ITV comps that still run online) I'll do the full number to the limit.
Stuff like dailies, that can be entered once per day, I enter as many days as I have time to, but that's rarely every day.
