  • I enter about 500 per week and i aim for 2000 a month. Most of them are online, prob about 60 a month are postal and 60 are text. i started doing this amount in september this year.
    In 2005 I won 3 prizes
    In 2006 I won 6 prizes
    In 2007 upto oct I won 8 prizes
    In Oct I won 8 prizes

    fluffysammy that is exactly why i dont pay to enter comps, why buy lottery tickets when you have more chance of winning free comps? ok you cant win millions but its a lot more exciting and profitable!

    I have entered loads over the last 2 months - my only win being a Shrek ball! I am afraid I have gone off the boil at the moment as I find it very time consuming to chalk up maybe 50 competitions in an evening, and also I am getting so much junk in my email.

    Nevertheless I will probably pick up on them again as I know from reading other posts on here that people who keep at seem to win, and some are really lucky.
    Best wishes

    I daren't tot up how many I enter, but its one hell of a lot. Couldn't win an argument before I started these online comps. Not a chance on keeping track of what I've entered either. It can take a long while for prizes to come through. I'm still waiting for one from July. It'll get here in the end though.
  • I only started 3 days ago, so its early days yet, but I have entered about 500 so far....... just one little win would encourage me... fingers crossed

    I would have to say I enter around 50-90 a day (depending upon how many are posted on the site here & how many have prizes I would like to win).

    I class this more as a hobby & fun than just doing it for the prizes - although they are nice too :D I also like the friends on this forum that I've made (whether they know it or not :D ) it's just a nice place to be!
    Sad because you don't know what to do? :sad: Comping question? Take a look in the Comping Guide to find out :smiley:
