My only wins were 1 / 126 and 1 / 510. So I won't win this.

1/724 . I rarely enter giveaways with more than 300 entries though.

Exactly, those are the ones(specifically, the ones I have in my wishlist) I do enter regardless of number of entries, specially if the points regenerate as well as they for now :p

1/475, I didn't enter if it has more than 500 entries.

My best was 1 out of 2114 for Humble Voxatron Debut. Not the best here but that bundle was awesome.

Searching closed giveaways for popular but new games. ie Borderlands/Borderlands 2 turns up plenty of people who have beaten better odds than any of the above. Some of these giveaways topped 10,000 entries!
A decent number of these giveaways were faker than a 14th Century Ikea swivel chair, but there are enough genuine ones to put our efforts on this thread to shame :)

The best I had is 1/83 and the other one was 1/28 with 2 copies (so 1/14th basically :/)(The Ship Bundle)

I don't think that would even be in the top 500.
But don't stop dreaming!

I won Flatout: Ultimate Carnage out of 1448 people... And that game's actually very awesome too. That reminds me that I should play it sometime again. My other big win was Sanctum collection out of 1343. Like the other, it's also a very great game, so I consider myself a lucky bastard.

I'm curious fellow steamgifts users: who has beaten the longest odds on a giveaway? Like, the most wanted games with public giveaways usually get thousands of entries, and one person has to be the winner.
So I want to know, who's the luckiest of us all? Doesn't have to be one of the most wanted games either, just the winner of the giveaway with the most entries.
Feel free to also post with your personal longest odd win, and how happy/excited it made you to win it! My longest odd: Shortly after I joined the site I won a copy of Beyond Good & Evil out of 1,683 entries. I was totally jazzed and even a little shocked to win, especially so soon after joining!
This is just for fun, all you get are bragging rights if you make the top ten!
Gonna (try to) keep a list of the top 10 from this thread for reference:
1) Ellegon - Skyrim: 10,211*
2) IronFang - Max Payne 3: 6,221
3) Gary0ak - Skyrim: 5,835
4) Morgeek - Bioshock 2: 5,561
5) Anubisfr3ak - Orcs Must Die! 2: 5,518
6) AtomicWoodchuck - Killing Floor Bundle: 5,226
7) fangmich - Dishonored: 5,100
8) ThePejlka - Quakecon Bundle: 4,727
9) MatheusCRO - Battlefield 3: 4,366
10) dirtling - Trine 2 Collectors: 3,560
*Note: Giveaways with 5 or more copies and developer giveaways don't count for this list. This number is completely arbitrary, and might change if people take this too seriously and make a fuss.
