I'm just having fun here, asking if other fellow gamers had to wait a bit before winning on steamgifts. The odds aren't that low I guess : assuming an average of 500 people entering each givaway, the chances of not winning after 1000 times are 13.5% (from 499/500 ^ 2). Anyone else that beat the odds? Have fun :)

EDIT : Ouch, seems like the forums is pretty serious. Sorry to have bothered you with just a casual thread. I never thought the "thanks" comments were that important since it felt a bit unsincere to me to just randomly thank everybody, but of course I love this site and it's awesome that so many people give games away (I myself gave away a couple of games I got from IGN Prime so that people who like them more could play). Closing the thread, cheers.

What you mean by your comment about a comment referencing a comment regarding a comment about the main comment?

Maybe its just that you entered 1000 giveaways and only have 1 comment, this forum post. Just a thought.

I would say you do not deserver any game because you NEVER say thanks and this is your first comment/post, but since you contribuited alot to the site i think you are worthy.

This!

I dont like all the Ctrl+V Spam. I mean, you could write a script what say automatical thanks every time you enter a giftaway. On the other side, someone could say every 'thanks' is a beg. So, yea. I thanks the person if I actually win a game (what I did, so.. no complain about this from me at least ;)).

I look at my giveaways to see if the winner bothered to say thanks. Yes, it takes 1 second to type "thanks", but at least it shows you want it instead of randomly entering giveaways to use up your points.

Agreed with you two. I don't get the obsession here with:

Thanks
Thanks
Thanks
Thanks

And all for something that 99% of people aren't going to get anyway? I mean if you have a genuine comment fine and it would be nice to thank the person if you DO win but the rest is just nonsense spammage to me. I absolutely do not understand that violent nerdrage that people here get over others not spamming empty thanks.

yea that's a bit unlucky but I think you will win in the next 500 entries. Just participe in giveaways with a low number of people e.g. group giveaways, contributor and so on

I have got very bad odds, I never won a public raffle except the 25k Faeri Solitaire one, contributor, group & private giveaways don't count.

Now show us the screenshots of last 2 pages from giveaways->entries, so I can laugh about you enterin' only these with very small chances to win.
