The reason I ask is because I have entered almost 200 giveaways and haven't won anything (par for the course I know), but I have an estimated win value. Its not really important I'm just curious.

It's based on statistics. The amount of giveaways you've entered, as well as the amount of entries each giveaway, and how many copies are all taken into account.

It's a guess at the number of games you "should" have won. As in, what are the chances of you winning a game by that point. Although from what I've seen nobody has more wins than they have estimated wins, so maybe it overestimates?

I didn't think it'd be unlikely. I guess it's because in my first year, I got lucky and got 5 wins. Again, didn't think that'd be unlikely.

There are some people that have far more than their estimated wins, while others have far less. As with all statistics, it works out about right in the end. But, its just a estimate, so don't get worked up if you fall behind.

And its just a probability figure, based on your composite odds from the giveaways you enter. If you enter a lot of giveaways with good odds, your estimate will be higher.
