123 entries isn't a lot. It usually takes people more than that to win.
What it comes down to is entering more giveaways and trying to enter giveaways with less people in them if getting a win of any kind is what your priority is.
Look out for 1 hour giveaways. Look out for giveaways for slightly less popular games that you'd still like to play. Look out for private giveaways here on the forum - sometimes they will require you to solve a puzzle before being given the link. Look to see if you can join any groups that have group only giveaways. Give away some stuff yourself - this will raise your CV (Contributor Value) and allow you to enter more giveaways.

Enter about 2000 more giveaways. Solve puzzle giveaways or enter specific group giveaways, all which have less entries AKA HIGHER CHANCES TO WIN

Sounds like a valid point. I've given what I can afford. Some people can't afford to give much, though. Rent and all.
If I could, I would give more. One of the main reasons I can't join any groups.

Giving does not up your chances of winning. It does, however, give you CV which allows you to enter CV-restricted giveaways. These can have fewer entries, though anything below 30 CV is basically open as you can get 30CV by giving away $1 worth of bundled games.

You've only entered 130 giveaways.
I've entered 2,200 and won 6. Most of those were from a group where < 10 people entered any given giveaway.
If you're entering a giveaway with 250+ people (like most public giveaways) your odds of winning are less than 1%. Sometimes far less.
Give games away to get CV (you can only get up to 30CV from Bundled games) so you can join giveaways that are limited by CV.
Participate in puzzles on the forum - often there are fewer than 20 people who solve and enter those private giveaways.
Join groups that are active on SteamGifts and have entry requirements (this works well with the 'give away games' advice, as most have giveaway requirements). This will let you access group giveaways that also have lower numbers of entries.
It's a numbers game, and you'll win, eventually, if you keep trying.

by trying harder....seriously 130 entries in a year is nothing when there are thousands of other people entering also.

What the hell are you thinking? Coming here and grabbing free games without any effort?
