You need to take a few things into account here.

► First off, this user is lvl 9 which allows entry to almost any public giveaway.

► Secondly, if you check the "Won Giveaway" section, you can notice that most are from a Steam Community Group with VERY LOW entries. I suppose it's the group of "people who gift far more than they win"?

Just by looking at ONE user, you got the gist of it: increase your level, even if slowly, to get more access to giveaways.

On a side note, complaining and re-gifting is badly received by the community (for pretty understandable reasons). You made a small mistake, your reaction to it will decide your "future" here. Hope you'll get better!

There is no such thing as luck.

See my post below for an elaboration on this theme.

Luck is what determines the actual outcome of the stochastic probability.
Of course, it still evens out in the long term.

9 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

I would have said it was more or less deterministic processes in a computer, in this case. I think we probably call things "luck" when we mean nobody planned them or could feasibly predict them.

9 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

I meant luck as in an intrinsic personal attribute that influences the probability of events beyond one's control, which is how people who say things like "I'm unlucky" think of it.

Well, there is, but it's just a silly human thing, just as god, or the theory that everything started from the Big Bang.

9 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Of course, it exists as a concept, but not as a thing in physical reality. So we're in agreement (except for that remark about the Big Bang; what's silly about it?).

Not that is exceptionally is silly, just that it is a silly human thing.

So, fun fact, you can actually calculate how likely you are to have won something, quite precisely and without too much difficulty. I've been using a spreadsheet to do it. (Ask me and I can give you details.)

The thing is, your actual odds of winning are probably lower than you expect. Say the drawings you're entering all had 500 entrants each (low for this site--I bet some actually had more) that would still only make you about 40% likely to win something. That's less than 50/50 odds. You should probably be grateful you won anything at all.

Now, in my own case, I'm up to about an 88% chance of winning something--still haven't though. Go figure.

i have also a question...that just came in my mind

Why should someone that does not respect the main and simplest rule here "activate your won games!", win any more?

9 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Still, stuff like this reinforces my belief that there should be popups explaining the site's rules where it concerns like there is one when you are about to create a giveaway for the first time.

Well, assuming you are 100 years old and a year has like 500 days you would still had to enter 10 giveaways per day to get those 500000 you are talking about. Maybe you should try or more realistic number .....
