Okay, I've entered about 400 giveaways over the past year. I haven't won any of them. Why is that? Shouldn't it be you win 1 of your 100 entries? That would seem better. Even if you win your first one, you can't win again until you've entered 99 more. Anyways, it's pretty lame I haven't won anything.

While it's true that giving away games will allow you to enter Contributor giveaways, giving you more chances to win, giving away more games actually doesn't give you better chances of winning in regular giveaways.

If you want to win, you have to stab a starving orphan 5 times. Or enter more givs and pray to the Based Bod that you will win.

It's a random lotto. Sometimes lady luck will smile at you, sometimes not. I will say that if you enter a lot of public giveaways, you've got a very very low chance of winning. Keeping an eye on forum giveaways is your best bet for winning games.

One win every hundred giveaways? Nope, not happening. There is more than 100 people here and entering those giveaways. There is the problem. If you are entering giveaways with 1000+ entries, you should expect to try 1000+ times.

Don't even go there. He may very well end up as the next random shooter or suicide bomber because he didn't win shit here.

That's not nearly enough of a reason for those kind of things and you should know it...
I'm not saying people could never do that because of such a stupid reason, but it doesn't take a genius to see that he's not one to do it.
Look at his profile, he only entered 393 GA's and commented 2 times in over 9 months...he doesn't really care about this at all.
Me on the other hand...

ROFL 400 giveaways... I entered that many in a month. This is a LOTTERY. It is purely random. There have been people on here longer than you or who have entered a couple thousand giveaways and won nothing. Then there are some that win two giveaways within 24hrs. This isn't preschool, where everything is made to be fair. Want to win something, enter LOTS of giveaways and you will eventually win something. Want the odds to be more in your favor? Enter giveaways with less people, not alot of people. OR better yet, scan the forums for private giveaways OR join a giveaways group. There are always a couple a wk or more looking for new members to join. Less competition in those giveaways, so your chances of winning will go up and you will win something sooner...maybe. XD Because it is all random. But smaller giveaways do increase your odds of winning, just as with ANY lottery.

5862 giveaway entered and 12 gift wons for me. That comes to 488 giveaway enter per win. However, virtually all of these wins were 400 or less entries. One win had 2,500 entries, I got lucky with that one.

TL;DR- Enter giveaways with less entries for best chance of win

It's a bit sad that we got to the point when we feel the need to write "TL,DR" after writing three simple sentences...

I rarely put down TL;DR, to be honest. I also find What is sad is that some people type "y" instead of "why", a three-letter word.

What is also sad is that TL;DR has no point to it's existence thanks to actual English words that mean the exact same thing

Strange. I rather gowith giveaways for a game I want. A fre game is useless, if you don't like it and you won't play with it ever. I fon't even enter giveaways withba few peoole, if I don't want it - it feels like if I ruin somebody's chace who actually wants that game.

^ this. I used to enter as much giveaways as I could, but then I realized that there is no joy in winning a game that you actually do not want. So now I only enter giveaways of games that I would really like to play.

Yes, you should win once for every 100 entries; even though most giveaways have about a thousand entries. How do I math?

The only way to be winning 1% of the time is to only enter giveaways with 100 entries. Good luck with that.

And even with a 1% chance of winning per giveaway, there's no guarantee that you will win 1 in 100 GA's. Every draw is a new set of numbers, with no proir memory of previous ones.
