Single because of my points.

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.

I think you don't. Being the 1st giveaway he entered doesn't affect his probability of winning it in any way. And the probability of winning of each entrant was the same, no matter if it was their 1st or their 10000th giveaway.

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.

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.
