I have entered 128 giveaways now and haven't won 1 yet...
Is the winning chance really that hard?

Because, statistics.

If you enter a giveaway with a thousand other contesters, your chance of winning is 1:1000, or 0.1%. Do you understand how little that is?

Of course, statistics also say that if you play long enough and enter enough giveaways you'll eventually win, but when, it depends on your luck. Winning anything within 200 or so entries would be extremely lucky. Check your estimated wins in your profile page. As you get closer to 1, you will be more likely to have won a single gift. If you get to around 1.20 or so without winning anything, you can then really say that you are not lucky.

C'mon guys, I think all that needs to be said here is already said.
Keep calm and carry on. Thread will be closed in time.

Commendable. May the odds be in your favour, then.

again this kind of thread? there is like a thread a week with this subject, can't you really use the search function or read your profile about estimated wins or simply trying to think what does mean having for example a chance in 1000 to be the winner?

It doesn't, but the "expected wins" stat gives you a good idea of roughly how many you should expect to win, if you are averagely lucky, and it would clearly tell the OP he needs to be more patient.

I bet CG thought adding that stat would put an end to these type of threads :D

start crying when you have 1000 entries and no wins
but 100 is nothing. there are only a few lucky people that have won anything with less than 100 entries in public giveaways

Its a god damn random. Too more entries on a giveaway - too small chance you win. Win a game really hard, but you can. You muck have a luck and patience.
