    I enter anything from 10-50 daily - depends on what I fancy at that particular time really :D

    I don't keep count, but probably about 50+ a day - basically I enter every comp that either I or someone I know would want the prize from (I'd feel terrible if I ended up winning something I didn't want and someone else had been desperate for it and not got it because of me!). No big wins yet, but fingers crossed :D
    Wins: Jan-Sept:£1991.27, Nov: "The Rough Guide to the iPhone" book, "FWD this link" book ... £12.98 :cool:
    Win £2008 in 2008 number 60, only £3.75 to go! (it is highly likely I'll win absolutely nothing else now this year! ;))

    I reckon I enter about 200 a week....having a drought at the moment so hoping it picks up soon!

    Reading other's stories makes me a bit jealous but also gives me that glimmer of hope that one day it will be me posting about winning a holiday, car etc!!

    I think I enter about 200 a week, but this depends on time and comps I fancy, at the end of the month there is always a mad rush where I probably enter 400 in the last week. Seems mad now I've written it down,but it keeps me entertained, is a free hobbie and occassionally I win !!!!!!!!:j

    I think it's about 140ish per day. If you do them on Loquax it counts them up for you. I've had a few good wins though and I've been doing this 'regime' for about 4 years now :eek:

    Hi

    I use Loquax but can't see where it counts them for me, please can youlet me know.

    Thanks

    I entered about 400 in my first 6 weeks of comping and won 1 prize. In the last two weeks I have entered at least 2000 comps including about 250 email comps.... I am still entering them now. I am entering for anything and everything but dont feel the slightest bit guilty as I have a lot of friends and family and there would be somebody I know that would be very grateful for any prize that I may win.

    If I dont have a good December then I will probably quit comping as im incredibly addicted!
  • I do the comps on here and also on the newsgroup uk.rec.competitions. I must do about 100 per day most days and I've had some wonderful prizes - I did list them in my signature but the took my whole signature off when I did it:mad:

    But I'm off to Austria - skiing in March, I've been to Oz and DLP. Stacks of CD's, DVDs, goodie bags from films, white goods and also just got a letter for winning 50 dropped thro the door on Friday:D

    I reckon it's about 1% win rate which isn't too bad really when it doesn't cost anything apart from my broadband which is on anyway -apart from the Postcard ones I do occasionally.
