How many comps do you enter?

Hi,

I'm pretty new to comping, though have been on sites like myoffers before, and won nowt!

Been doing the comps listed on here for about 2 weeks now and already won 2 things - nothing big, but worth about £100 in total :j

So, I was wondering how many comps you need to be doing per day to be successful! I know it's the luck of the draw on most, but obviously, the more you enter, the better your chances!

    Ditch places like myoffers as they will just spam you, stick to the ones posted on here & I'm sure the wins will come rolling in.
    2025 - finally back comping after a stressful house move - send me fairy dust please!

    2026 winnings!!!

    I haven't voted as I don't do comps often, but when I do I go via Loquax, won a few small prizes over the years, nothing big.

    Hello:D

    I think I enter about 20 a day on average somedays more some less

    Best place to start if you are new is the comps ending thread a sticky on the main competition page

    :D This is the only site you need though:D

    Also get yourself a new email, yahoo or something so you can use it to enter comps and not clog up your own email

    I only enter things I want to win. So I usually enter the ones that have money, laptops and booze! Oh and anything to do with food. Hmmm, is this why my hips are the way they are?
    Getting there... A deal at a time. :T

    You need an option for "Haven't a clue". That would cover most people, I should think. :)
    :rolleyes: I was thinking that would take ages to add up all the ones I do on here
    to be updated:;)

    I always do the comps ending, do the ITV ones, plus go to prizefinder.com and work my way through the days. I tend to win alot of books and DVDs and nearly fainted when I had the call from ITV. My philosophy is you dont enter you cant win, so try and enter as much as I can!:p

    I've been comping for about a month now, Won somthing in the first week of starting aswell :) nothing much just a bag full of ps3 goodies, likes of books and keyrings etc. Which I'm still wating to be delivered.

    Anyway not complaining, a win is a win and I do as many as possible to see if I can win anymore. By seeing the amount of things people win in here I reckon mse compers are quite lucky :)

    I'm always hoping that call from ITV comes my way though :D
    Comping again
