Why are my estimated wins 0.07, even though I have never won a giveaway?

Because that's your estimated wins. Based on pure statistics, by how many giveaways you've entered, and what the chances of winning each were.

No worries! Might be best for you to close this thread now, save people's time from replying to this :)

It's in the FAQ.

Your EW is based on your chance to win each of the giveaways you've entered. Most of the time, people tend to win close to the number of games listed in the EW, although winning can come in spurts.

Please, don't be so quick to say "It's in the FAQ". If you checked, you would find that this is not in the FAQ, as the FAQ was written before the Estimated Wins feature was implemented.

From my Guide to winning

Estimated Wins

This is a number calculated by the chance you had of winning each giveaway you have entered. If you entered a giveaway with a 50% chance of winning, your Estimated Wins will increase by 0.5, no matter if you won or lost. This number is no indication that you should have won that many games, it is simply to allow you to see if you are more or less lucky than what the odds allow.
