And you can multiply that by one hundred to get the result in procents.

Number of copies, anyone?

Cheater. Or maybe that's because you're a chicken, uhm...

I remember a long while back I had several Fortix giveaways up at once and one guy won three of them. Was quite the amusing reason to have to request rerolls.

One has to wonder why someone would come in to the topic in the first place if the subject of discussion is one that they abhor?

"6 entries"
"Huge"

tl;dr:

x: the entries you got for a giveaway (number of copies being given away)
n: total entries that giveaway has
your chance to win = x/n

... While i cannot refute this logical statement completely, it's a very depressing notion that with 50/50 odds, i've failed 100 times in a row ;)

There are two possibilities that need to sum 100%, what doesn't mean each must be 50%, only that if win is 1/2498 to loose is 2497/2498.

zelghadis is a mathematical phenomen! You know, sense of life is 42. So if you multiplicate this with the first letter zelgh has in his name as number in the alphabet- 26- you can see that this number divided by the number of numbers in his normal profile pic - 4 - multiplicated by the years he is on steamgifts -2- and then take the difference between the numbers of letters in his actual name and his profile pic/short name, 5, multiplicated with the difference with his created and won giveaways at this moment- 11, and add it so the sum, and add the difference between his and my numbers of letters in name, 1, you get the number of his wins!

So, to answer the OPs Question, you can easily increase your chance by:

1. Making the sense of life higher somehow...
2. having a letter that comes late in alphabet as your first in your name
3. Having a small/no letters in your profile pic
4. Being on Steamgifts for a long time
5. Having a very short moniker
6. Creating more GAs than you won yet
7. Having a long name
8. being gud in math.

So, I conclude that the OP's problem is:

1. Having "f" being the first letter of his name
2. has too many letters in his pic
3. Being way...too new... like a new-born on earth... on steamgifts
4. Op's moniker is not shorter than his actual nickname
5. Having created no GAs
6. Having a short name in general
7. Not knowing how to work with propabilties.

Thanks for your attention!

It's true. Giveaways entered: 143. Gifts won: 602. Every time zelghadis enters a giveaway, he ends up winning 3.2 others that he didn't even enter!

Giveaways Entered
327
Gifts Won
604
Makes no sense? oO

If there are 0 entires this will exception, sloppy code. :|

Then I can suggest to only enter giveaways with less than 1000 entries..

A big loss....

Thanks! :)

Luckiest guy on earth!!!
