You've only been here for 2 weeks, and you've already won something. That's actually not bad at all.

7 Years, over 5000 entered, won 6 times. 5 of the 6 games are worth less than 2 bucks then and worth less than .99 today.

I see your point but most public GAs get over a thousand entries, and even large groups get a lot of GAs that barely reach 150 entries so the odds get much higher in groups.
I know mathematically, it makes only a tiny difference but from experience, about 90% of my wins come from groups, and not even the small closed up ones.

Compared to guaranteed win - yes. But relatively it's still quite a lot! 1000 entry public vs 125 entry group - 8 times the chance, which is very close to your 90% experience. Then add habits like if you buy bundles or visit group buys, you likely have the public giveaways' games, while whitelits, group promotions and events still tend to give more unbundled or new games :)

Heh yep and then there's the X factor like... I never ever won a single giveaway I entered after solving a puzzle or a Jigidi and I've solved a lot of those and some had ridiculous odds (like less than 5 entries)
Roll of the dice, eh? But I've been here 2 years and a half and I won a lot of great games so definitely not complaining about maths here. Just a funny thing, that's all.

think of this way:
you'll making GA-s to gain levels. Some (group) GA-s requie higher level to participate, and in those GA-s are much higher chance to win

The same as public.
That's what I said
But you still require points to enter them.
So, even if you have a shit-ton of options, you can't enter all of them anyway.
Who want every game anyway?
I have 21k games hidden and constantly 300+ points (which are free) available.

53,223 entries, 240 wins. 191 given.
Edit- You joined 2 weeks ago and won something already. That's lucky enough. There are people that haven't won at all yet. Or some that win once a month if that.

900 entries to 1 win is just about exactly what I expect.
Most giveaways I enter are under 1000 entries, and most wishlist games 1 enter for have several thousand entries.
Although I have entered for a lot of bulk giveaways, so my ratio is rather decent. I really need to start some giveaways and share back with the community.
19,678 entries, 97 won, 6 given

IDK how to see the percentage but sometimes winning some GA's

5 years (almost 6 - cake day in May :) ) 61585 GAs entered, and won 155 games. approx every 400th entering is a winning... 0.0025% :D
Also some advices: give away some games, so you will level up, higher GAs, less participants. ;)
and WL GAs have also higher chance :)

i joined 2 year ago and i entered 46338 GA
I Won 2952 GA
Matematik : 46338 / 2952 = 15,697 %
2952 / 730 (days) = 4,04 Ga / Day
Yeah i am lucky but 80% i won from private GA groups,,,
5,283 games have been added to my hide list too
I hope I calculated well
