Title says it. What do you think?
Edit:
Kelnage implemented this feature in his Do You Feel Lucky, Punk? script. Be nice and thank him for it!

Is this a good idea?

Sounds nice, but it's not so easy to do as you think.
Sounds nice, but it can stress the server.
Meh...
Calculate it yourself, you lazy arse.

I mean an overall probability, not just for the particular GA.

If you use my userscript, Do You Feel Lucky, Punk, you can search for a game and then view your expected wins of that game (I don't look at GAs that haven't finished yet, since this will obviously fluctuate as people enter/leave them).

I'm more interested in the future probability, but I didn't know your script can be used only for a certain game, cool!

Seeing as my script now caches the results when it runs, I've modified it to show future expected GA wins (its in orange). The feature is in my latest release (1.6.0).

Well, I voted yes, so I felt it was binding that I try to help...

I just take a look. If the typical giveaway has 200-220 entries, and that game is available 10 times, I've got approximately 5% chance of winning

Yep, sounds about right.
10/2200=0.045
