It took me around 3200 entries, a year and lots of tears to win my first game (Resident Evil 5). But most of the time I enter giveaways with low chance to win (mostly AAA/good games I really want to play).
My stats now : 5,279 entries, 6 won, 1 year 5 months.

If you enter all of the giveaways, you will love the ones in the top : there are lots of copies for each game (CRIMSON ROOM® DECADE (100 Copies), Atorb (116 Copies), etc). Sometimes you even have 100% chance to win (50 000 copies for like 15 000 people).
Tip : click on the arrow under the two multiple-copies games, you'll see more of them.

If you only enter low level public GAs you're probably going to be waiting a long time before you win anything. Others have already recommended looking for private GAs in the forum and I'd also recommend making it a habit to check the source code of the first post (in Firefox just highlight the text, right click and select view selection source) as people like to hide links there. The other thing to do is to try to join smaller groups as those giveaways obviously have a much lower number of entries (try this group). Making GAs of your own also helps since higher level GAs usually have fewer entries (there's almost 800K users at level 0 and around 100K at level 1 so even one level difference significantly reduces the competition). Other than that, be sure to activate all won games on your account and make sure that if you win multiple GAs for the same game you only mark one received and ask the creator of the other GAs to re-roll (this rule in particular seems to trip up a lot of people).

Thanks for your advices, already won two games today, 1st was I guess was a private GA made by Undac and the other was in a steam group that heilurmes sugested me.
I will check more the forums now and try to level up.
If I giveaway 1 game I will be level 1?
Thanks again for your help

No problem, it's nice to hear you're getting some wins. :) If you giveaway one game that will get you to level 1. Your level is determined by the value of the games you giveaway (bundled games are worth 15% of their normal sale price); you can see the requirements for each level here. You can also look here to get some useful advice about solving puzzles.

I've entered 394 giveaways and won 2 of them, which is pretty decent so far in my opinion. I think it took me a week or so to win my first one. ;3;

You can check every user here. How many comments she/he creates and how many entries she/he has (you need to write a name of user), How many won games someone have you can check on her/his profile.

You will need to enter a lot more than 112 before sadface is called for :D

Looking at some of these comments, it appears I am to spam the giveaways!

Unless the average giveaway you enter only has 112 entires, then you are not past 1:1 yet. If you look at your own public giveaways they range from 666 to 2218 entires, so you would need to enter 1386 giveaways before you should have statistically won one. Increasing your level, groups, forum GA's and forum puzzle GA's are a good way to reduce your odds significantly :)

The first day I registred in this site, I won a game :D And 2 days after, I won another....
But it's really random, 2 days ago I had 4 pages of entered GA (so 200 games, 50 per page), I won 2 (and it was mostly level 3-5 GA).
I entered 39,544 GA and won only 190, so...

It really more easy to win GA on a higher level for sure.
