In his contest against Vaermina he does absolutely nothing and that is really how he wins. All he does is use Vaermina's actions against her. In his contest against Hircine he creates a creature that uses Hircine's beast's own power against it, against most other monsters Sheogorath would lose. In his contest against Malacath he causes a champion orc to enter a bloodlust and kill a priest. Malacath then killed his own champion in revenge, regreting it hugely afterwards.

Look Up The Book 16 Accords Of Madness And Read It

Assuming that you have taken five minutes to read the book you will now know that Sheogorath's victories were mere coincidences and examples of the Daedric Princes fallibility, The book Azura and the Box proves that even mortals can trick Daedric Princes. This quote proves that Sheogorath beating the other Princes in contest means nothing, the most power he has shown is flinging Baar Dau at Vivec who stopped it easily, and even after that Clavicus Vile held it up and mortal mages have held it up.
