thanks

Stop complaining about complaining outside of complaint threads. There will still be threads upon threads of this bullshit and you're just making another worthless thread. The math behind it all is simple enough that anyone who fails to understand it is stupid enough to bitch and be a leech while they're at it. Good morning.

Thanks for Skyrim!

BURN THE HERETIC!

Finally this!

Threads like this are 10 times more annoying...

I won 5 giveaways today, from about 10 pages of entries (250 entries) with about 70 average entries each (edit: maybe 100 actually). Please calculate the chances of that mr. maths genius :)

Yhm

Usually this much math leads to a giveaway! Not this time I guess! Sadly people are gonna keep complaining inspite of your mathematical explanation. Probably because it's an "emmenic topic" as you said!

Thank you for this enlightening post, but the question is, will those who complained/are complaining/are planning to complain read this?

Lol.. When someone dont know what giveavays enter thats the problem... I always look at the start time of giveavay and how many time it is open. And i won now 2 games in ~1,3 entres ;)

And then there was me, who had like 6 wins by the time I reached 1 estimated.

i dont know bout the math didnt even bothered my self with that part... but i reached over 1.1k entries and no wins and no one heard me complaining... heck why should i?? its gambling sometimes u win some times u dont u just need to wait for it xD any way good luck all to your ga's entered

No won. :(

Here's an anti-complaint for you: I recently won 2 giveaways with +600 entries each within 24h, check my profile ;)

The problem is they joined too late. During the invite only days you could win a lot due to the small userbase (I won a lot during the invite only days and during a period after they opened the registration up). Nowadays it feels like a real lottery and you barely win. Stop complaining and enter more giveaways.

Dude my math F-

For instance*
Sorry it was bothering me. D:

Giveaways Entered :334
Gifts Won :0
Estimated Wins: 1.77
Mine is this and today I won :) Was a group giveaway, but still 99 entries. Lucky me. Waiting for person to give the giveaway.

Don't do math, do meth

Maths is hard.

@ OP.

I understand lim(n->∞)(1+1/n)^n = e and I understood how you derived the lim (x->inf)(1-1/x)^x equals the reciprocal of e. However I do not see how this relates to the probability you have explained. Care to assist me on understanding? Thanks and merry christmas.

The people who don't understand what estimated wins means won't understand your math either, unfortunately.
