My first win was in a giveaway with 666 entries, so I have to agree, haha.

Anyone had a chance to win it as it had 471 entries.. but be a duplicate account or just someone just joined and got extremely lucky.. took me 3 months to get my first game (Fortix) xD
Comment has been collapsed.
Meant to say. That persons account could be a duplicate of the giveaways owner. or could be legitimate and just be a really lucky new user.

You are really butthurt because a guy with 1 entry won something and you didnt, arent you?

I entered a couple of them. And your point is? Not everybody is the same and it could be the only game that he was interested in.
also, has said by Yatterman, you start with a few points, 25 if i remember right.

Probability means that it has a chance to happen. This chance is equal whether you entered the giveaway at the last second or at the very beginning, whether it's your first entry or your three thousandth. Go back to primary school.

There is nothing strange about this. It was a public giveaway, with a lot of entries. THERE IS NO WAY TO CHEAT that.
Oh, you wanna report me too? I mean, i won my first game at my 5th entry.
Was i cheating?

Please present a plausible theory, complete with proof-of-concept code if it was through the use of hacking or scripting, on how this could happen other than "THE ODDS ARE SO SMALL IT HAS TO BE RIGGED".
Or else shut up, put on your big girl panties, and DEAL WITH IT.

I won the lottery, but the government took my money away because they said I was using cheat codes like a noob to win

I like how people make really bad examples...is it a new trend or something? Anyways I think its just luck. (maybe has more then one account or something)

Hey guys I'm the lucky dude. I really did just make this account. I read about steam gifts on another forum I frequent: http://forums.anandtech.com/showpost.php?p=33734740&postcount=88 so I signed up. The Magika giveaway was on the front page with a few minutes left and I had wanted that game but wasn't around for the sale on the summer sale, So I entered and won.
I would also like to mention that if I was a dummy account would I make one that has 163 games according to steamcalculator.com? That is also my reasoning for not entering tons of giveaways right away, I have tons of games so I only entered the one on the front page that I didn't have and wanted.
I really did not cheat.

There's no way for you to cheat without manipulating the server's codebase. This guy just is too butthurt to understand simple mathematics.
You don't even really need to dignify moronface here with a reply. He's already getting into it with the mods, which might earn him a short vacation.

Don't worry, Zokudu. No-one here with any understanding of maths thinks you did anything wrong.

Indeed. Everytime I feel bad about spending too much on sales I compare games to the price I have to pay for food in college. And food lasts so little.

Congratulations! :D And even more kudos to you for looking at the forums (a lot of people don't even know it exists, apparently) and explaining yourself like a gentleman even though you didn't have to.

the first day I joined I won The Void
the first day I joined I also offered a game
the first day I joined I also commented
of course you didn't cheat, the OP went berserk with maths :)
Comment has been collapsed.
As everyone has been saying, ignore the thread, OP is butt hurt that you won your first entry and doesn't understand that simple probability dictates its perfectly fine to win your first entry.
Next think we know, OP will be reporting people for getting a first win xD

i won the first giveaway i tried... i'm lucky just it and same this guy

He... called someone out... argued with mods and called them names... accused the site of being corrupt (i.e. not random)... and failed to grasp the fundamental basics of mathematical probability. And only he and the mods know what happened in the support ticket he filed accusing mathematics of cheating.
So, yeah, he deserves a time-out, I'd say.

Several hours in the "naughty corner" and a few links to the erudite works of Henk Tijms will set him on the path to enlightenment.
Comment has been collapsed.
But how do you know this went down if it went down in a support ticket?!
Do we have a spy with us?!
Comment has been collapsed.
Er... can you read?
Everything I say he did in that post, he did in this thread, except for whatever happened in the support ticket. That, I can't see, which is why I say "only he and the mods know what happened in the support ticket he filed."
