How lucky have you been to win anything?

As for myself...i've entered around 150+ giveaways (Thanks to combatbeard for showing me my own statistics) and not won anything, yeah everyones calling me hasty, i know, i'm not gonna win everything and i'm now aware i've been here (Aka a registered user) for a week, i'm just curious about you guys.

Oh and i managed to get myself added to one persons blacklist (probably for not saying "Thank you") and one persons whitelist...go me i guess

Overall, I've been lucky, and won 4 more gifts than estimated since I first joined.
May 2016 = 0,95 gifts
156 whitelists and 52 blacklists.
I'm more than 2 years here and I've only won 45 gifts. You're here for only 1 week. Don't be so hasty. You'll win eventually.

I didn't say anything negative about your curiosity. It's nice to be curious. I just said that there's no need to be hasty. I could have won a lot more games if I would have participated in every giveaway or entered groups or asked to be whitelisted, etc., but I only participate for games that interest me and I don't like asking for "special" invites (as in groups and whitelists). You're considered lucky not when you have participated in restricted giveaways, but when you have participated in public giveaways for low leveled users and ended up winning. :D That's when you can see if you're truly lucky! :D

Well, in 2 years (even though I wasn't always entering giveaways), 45 wins is a small number. :B

Question, where did you find that? I did a bit of searching and maybe i'm just blind.

Also, i did say "probably", i was honestly thinking more in the 200 range. :P

The site also recently added a feature to provide you with an estimate of how often you'd expect to win based on the ended GAs you've entered. If you click on the little grey arrow at the upper right of your screen, then click 'My Stats' you'll find this information and much more.

Usually you're less likely to win than you imagine. For example, let's say there were 1000 people entering each of your 154 GAs. That would mean that once all were done it's still ~86% likely that you' wouldn't have won anything. (That's assuming each GA has only one winner.)

The past 10 months (besides this week) I entered 700 and didn't win anything. Then in the last week I entered 200 more and won 7 (which is extremely lucky). One of the days I even won 2 giveaways on a 5% chance!

FYI the average win rate is ~300 entries, and you have half of that at 154.

Pretty unlucky... In just over a month my luck ratio is at -1.62. Entered around 570 finished GA's, including 2 with just 10 entries...

I win every giveaway I enter, even if I don't, so I feel exceptionally fortunate overall

I get something about every month, been on here for about 2 months, gotten 2 gifts, with ~3,100 entries. It takes time, just use it as something to do and not pay much attention to it. Good luck nonetheless.

I entered 11,403 giveaways and won 37 gifts in the almost 15 months, that I'm here.

Overall, you've been lucky, and won 11 more gifts than estimated since you first joined.

Check out the forums for giveaways with less people entering them, solve puzzles for an even higher chance of winning.
But yes, 150 entries is really nothing. There are many people with 1000+ entries who haven't won anything (especially if they only enter for games they want to play/popular games). Be patient and good luck. :)
