in I won! I won! I won!
Hello I am relatively new to comping and I would just like to know out of how many competitions entered on average how many have you won?
I have entered around 300 comps so far and have not won anything, just wondering if this is normal
Thanks :)

    Seems to work out to about 1 win in every 1000-1500 wins. That said I've entered some 4000 comps this year and have won a sample tea bag, so it just depends on luck!

    Also, not sure this is the correct forum to post on, I would think this has to be moved to the 'chat' section. Anyone know to request a move?

    My advise get a high paying JOB and buy what you want. The time spend trying to WIN might be better put in the JOB become CEO and retire with a Golden parachute.

    generally good advice, but I'm not sure entirely constructive. Could you help teach us how to get this posted on the correct forum please? I'm somewhat of a newbie myself. :)
