Each giveaway you enter raises your Estimated wins by x amount depending on how many people enter a giveaway. Eg: If you're the only person who enters (by some crazy chance) it will raise by 1.0; if a few thousand enter, the amount it raises will be very very small. Basically the higher the number of entrants in a single giveaway the lower your chances of winning and the less it goes up. It's pretty much just a way to keep track of your luck. :)

According to CG, "Estimated wins is the sum of all your entered giveaways using the following formula... SUM(1/MAX(1,(Gift.Entries/Gift.Copies)))", which is the most formal way to say the same thing kralizeh and Aly have already answered. =]

Hey guys,
I'm new to steamgifts and I'm wondering what does "Estimated wins" mean on your profile page? What does that number behind it stand for and how is it calculated?
Greetings,
lollas
