I've enter almost 1000 giveaways now and haven't won anything yet but my friend has won two games with half the entries.

Some help on this would be great

You should learn the word statistic better. Statistics are, for 1000 people entering 1 giveaway, 999 of them will lose, and 1 will win. So there nothing wrong.

There is no help. It's luck, that's all it is. If you enter a giveaway with 100 entries, you have 1/100 chance to win. A giveaway with 500 entries, 1/500 chance to win. Giveaway with two copies and 1000 entries, 1/500 chance to win. It's just luck.

Nop... 1/1000 + 1/999 (is not the same)

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

But 2/1000 is the same as 1/500, which is the mathematical equation in question (two chances to win over 1000 entries, as compared to one chance to win with 500 entries...).

if one person cant win both copies then it is slightly higher than 1/500.it is 1/1000 + 1/999 , since 1st game can be given to 1000 people and second to 999.

Hmmm, I mostly do the same myself, but I do find myself exhausting the 250++ to 300 points on a daily basis, may be you're being too picky with your selection of game giveaways

Good for you. Still doesn't make it a lot. And your odds of winning are bleeding low.

In theory I win 1 game on 2 months (it's not a rule, but it's average)

I've entered 224, and I haven't gotten anything either. It's all pure chance. All you can do is hope and/or contribute. The offers with higher contribution amounts usually have less people in it, which means more of a chance for you to win.

It's theoretically possible. After all, the chances are astronomically low, but one could win every single drawing they enter. One could also enter 1,000,000 and never win. People need to understand that the results for previous entries have no bearing on the next one. If you flip a coin 12 times and get heads 12 times, that does not make the odds for tails on the 13th any greater than 1/2.

You spend points to enter giveaways. More points build up over time, the speed having to do with how many giveaways are being made.

Read the FAQ.

Then don't waste your time coming back. It'll be nice to have that 1/500 drop to 1/499 because you don't understand statistics.

Nope, estimated wins are the averagegiven his entries. There is only like 30% chance(or something like that don't recall the exact number) of him being it, the remaining are evenly divided between winning more and winning less.

It makes perfect sense. No matter how many drawings you enter, the chance to win each one is 1/x with x being the total number of entrants.

Private giveaways are made for either the forums or small groups of people the creator likes. Spend more time in the community, become someone people like (rather than a jerk complaining about how people make exclusive giveaways), get into nicer giveaways. Problem solved.
