Win ratio seems fishy...

It's cg's alt account, that's why. Forget you found it, I heard people tend to disappear once they know the truth.

Jokes aside, no, that user didn't cheat the math, he just got lucky, but without more details such as entries to wins ratio I'm not able to tell you more (and I'd like that in form of screenshot of the profile, not text).

Yeah nobody should have an unnatural ratio like that when real people need at least 78 entries to win 1.

His last 25 won games were within 2 months

Some more fun math... if he's been active for 5 years (assuming exactly 5 years ago), then he's won an average of more than 6 games a week since becoming a member.

Maybe he's a member of some steam groups?

It's not that fishy at all considering luck in general. I stumbled across a few peeps who are unbelievably lucky and continue to be so.
Sometimes luck is a real bitch and engages with nearly everyone and sometimes luck is almost loyal to some.
I'm not here to judge or question anybody's luck, but I wonder myself why certain peeps are obviously favored by fortune. No one knows for sure!

shrugs the numbers don't mean much tbh. quality, juggling which entries offer the best chances, whatnot. it's not worth worrying about.

He's lvl9, at that level, there's a lot of giveway with very few people able to enter. My awesome ratio is 1/982

I like fishy foods but they make your burps kinda nasty later.

1/45 is a sign of something fishy going on? lol, my ratio is 1/30 ;p and it's still far from few top dogs ;p there's nothing fishy about it, he just enters GAs with higher win chance than ones you enter, puff, mystery solved ^^

look at my profile :) i won nothing in 4 years

Sooo. With the odd math proposed here, I should have won more than 205 within the 43.608 in the 5 years I have been here?

Or that Zelghadis should have won FAR less or more?

Most bizarre.

So his won-percentage is 2.2%.
Mine is 2.0%, not a big difference.

So I'm a fishy fishy fishhhhhhhhhhhh..... ;-)

Yeah, like I said - I wasn't sure if it was normal; it seems now from the responses that it is =)

it's normal for expert-level leeching users. 👍

1)group giveaways (to get into better groups you may actually have to giveaway something good)
2)level 1+ giveaways (higher level the better)
3)whitelist giveaways (you'll need to be social)
4)forum giveaways

Users that get regular wins with low entry requirements tend to be part of specialized, low-member, high-involvement groups (wherein regular giveaway creation is requireed). Even with groups that have low requirements for entry it's fairly common to see 10-60 entry giveaways, and SGT forum giveaways tend to be comparable in entry count, or lower on average if a puzzle is involved. If you aim for harder puzzles or less-desirable giveaways, you may even end up bumping into giveaways that have trouble getting 5 entries (a circumstance also common to "win-swapping" groups).

While it does have some iffyness in mindset potentially associated with it, it's not inherently a sign of "fishy" behavior. Moreover, there are some users who only choose to enter for highly wishlisted, unbundled, rarely gifted content; That is to say, content which is typically seen most in low-entry whitelist, group, or special event giveaways (well, or level 0 public or promotional group giveaways, but noone expects to win those anyway).

If you think there's something suspicious, you can certainly direct staff towards it through a support ticket- they have a lot more tools available than we do, for determining such things. However, you're not typically going to be able to determine unusual conduct off of surface stats alone, given how everyone approaches the site differently.

Can't deny the possibility ... A few gamers do fishy things to be a winner in games, why won't they do it to be the winner of games?

As others, have stated get into groups or whitelist and joining forum giveaways which usually have lower number of entries which allow your win chance to go up considerably. If you only join public giveaways even with level requirements, your chances of winning is pretty low in comparison.

I've won one in every 4.2 giveaways I've entered.
