    I joined in March and stopped once we'd reached 1 million so my numbers are from March-August.

    Comps entered - 24272

    Wins - 17

    I'm stupid and can't work out ratios. :(


    your not stupid hun

    your ratio is 24272/17 = 1427.7 so your win ratio is 1 in 1428 x
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

    I joined in May so was quite late to the party.

    Between May and September I entered 46,976 comps and won 86 times - a ratio of 1 win per 536 comps.

    I don't do CTWs but I do dailies and mag dailies, though not religiously (some days I just can't be bothered!). I was lucky enough to win 3 times through the mag dailies.

    I will miss the challenge and the banter, but will continue to keep a tally of my comps (for my own amusement!).

    Thank you hun! That seems so easy to work out!

    Not as good a ratio as some people but I'm happy with all of my wins. :)
