Oh come on guys, don't be too hard on the OP and scare him by mentioning blacklisting, we've all been new and clueless here.
Maybe the OP is just trying to join in by making this thread as he doesn't know if anyone will notice his comment on some other thread or respond to him as no one really knows him yet. It's hard being the new kid in the class ;)
I know, I know... You're all sick of these threads and there's the FAQ and the search option to see if there are similar threads and I understand you. The thing is... I just woke up and am pretty cheerful so I feel like sharing some love :D
To the OP- don't give up. Join the community, make some friends, join some groups and even though your odds will improve greatly because you'll get on people's whitelists and get invited to groups winning will soon become way less important to you. Trust me, I too joined for the winning and now it's the community that's keeping me here. If it was just about the winning I would have forgotten about this site a long time ago.
When you start making giveaways you might get a bit disappointed as some people aren't really grateful and join the public giveaways just to win something and don't really care what, but don't let that put you down. There are plenty of amazing people here and the joy you're gonna get when someone nice wins your gibs is gonna be totally worth it.
I gave away some stuff yesterday and was SO happy when those guys (it was a public gibs so I didn't know them) were actually thrilled to have won.
I know that people here, according to some comments so far mentioning blacklisting, might seem a bit harsh to you but it's just because they're sick of so many people not bothering to read the FAQ and making threads on the same subject, but show to them that you're a nice person and they're gonna accept you and show their kinder sides to you :)

Actually LOLed at this one :D
"eloquent forum contributions"... Is this your polite way of calling me a meddling-preachy-smart-ass? .. Because I admit it, I sometimes feel like it. But I prefer to call it sharing-the-love xD
Except for that one time that I allowed myself to get pulled into a quasi-fight whit a member of the SG's low-IQ-troll-species. Not a great experience and one I don't plan on repeating anytime soon :/

Those are meant to be looked at from afar, like in a zoo. Never, ever, enter the den of a low-IQ-troll.

I really can't believe this... It's happened to me twice today... I was 100% sure I already a person on my whitelist and he/she wasn't! The same thing now happened with you. -.-'
I was 10000% sure that you were there already and I just went to check for the hell of it and.... -.-'
I MUST remember to re-check everyone I like to see if they're on my whitelist as, obviously, I simply assume I've already whitelisted my fav people...
Also, thank you for whitelisting me :)

Statistically, entering giveaways has a higher win chance than making complain threads about not winning.
Seems to me you're going about it the wrong way... ;)

it's not fake,, lol. The screenshot was made in SGv1 before his 1st win and comparing this screenshot with his current profile data only shows one thing - that even most unlucky (he was way more unlucy than you, back then CV from bundled games was capped, so he gave away more than you in monetary value still winning nothing back, he had over 15 estimated wins - entering GA with 1000 other ppl gives you 0.001 estimated win, he lost a lot of 2 entries GAs etc) user will stop being unlucky with time. It's pure statistics. Also Large Numbers Law.
And I am not lucky - statistics again. I simply enter a lot of GAs with very few entries - group, puzzle, whitelist, high CV, events - meaning Isimply win a lot more compared to someone who enters a lot of GAs with a lot of entries.
Lets say there are 2 users, Anna and Bob. Anna enters 10000 GAs, each with 50 entries, because she solves puzzles and is in a lot of groups and whitelists, Ends up winning 200 GAs. Bob enters same number of 10000 GAs each with 2000 entries, because they are all lvl0 public GAs, he ends up winning 5 GAs. Is Bob much more unlucky than Anna, because he has 40 times less wins than her with same number of entries? No - they are both exactly the same lucky. To be exact each of them is exactly 0% lucky and unlucky, because each of them won exaxtly their estimated win number.

I know how the site works I read the FAQ ..etc..THX for you explanation.But what you are saying is not more than simply speculation! I always thought If I'm giving away more maybe later on I'm getting something back. I'm trying to make a lot of giveaway to reach higher CV level to be able to win a giveaway with 100-200 entries! Or just be able to enter the game giveaways what I like! But I begin to think that this is just a f*cking joke and no matter how much is your cv level you always will be just won from a 10000 who never win anything at all! I saw a lot of people in this site who give away nothing and won 80 games or more its a joke!!! seriously....

it's not a joke, it's just random. if you treat this site as an investment to make profit, better stop now and leave. It's a lottery. You cannot be mad about someone winning a big prize with buying just one ticket and call it a scam because of it, because you bought not 1 but 100 tickets and didn't win ;)

You are right! Listen I'm not saying straight this site as an investment to make profit! You wrote that :) "I'm saying it's it seems to be for me!"
I know what is random anyway! I'm a programmer I know how to build sites like this!. And I'm not writting down here what I think exacly! because I'm don't wanna get any trouble -.-!

Thank you for your advice! I'm not here for leech I'm here because I want to give away like the others! I'm just wondering why I'm not winning anything! maybe because I'm selective? I only entering a few giveaway every day 4-5 it depends what games are available on giveaway from my whislist!

Well then of course you won't win a lot, especially if you're entering only public giveaways.
You have 1 win for 758 entries, it's not particulary bad.

Friend, chill. I gave up for almost a year, then returned to Steamgifts and suddenly won two giveaways in a row. Have patience.
