Hello, I'm Pichwise, I have entered in more than 300 give aways (Including Dwarfs with a 10% chance), I'm out of luck and I once saw a group that give to the ''Bad-lucker'' like me, unfortunally the group is actually full, does anyone know a similar group?

Thank you

This guy is not complaining for no wins actually. He is asking for a no win's group

That's almost the same thing. He's complaining about not winning something after ONLY 300 tries and wants an easy way to win something.

Just disregard his contri value is higher than yours right (and mostly public)... (you both have me beat) be rude and take offense to a constructive post. (only 337 entries in the past month+ whatever...)

How about entry to comment ratio?

entry to comment ratio doesn't mean anything. Anyone can spam "Thanks!" on everything they enter, boosting their comment amount.

So you respond to the one thing I said actually mentioned in the FAQ Etiquette section and call it spam...

I have almost 2000 more comments than I have entries. You can have lots of comments by being an active forum member, even if you don't like to thank people.

Also, it never hurts to comment on giveaways. Don't you like to be thanked when you create one?

Any reason? I always like reading my comments on giveaways, makes me sad when it's like 200 entries/12 comments.

Fair enough, I can see how it seems pointless to many people.

That said, I tell the person who sells me coffee "Thank you" or "Have a good day" every morning, and they are just doing their job. I figure I owe at least that much to someone who is giving away a game.

True enough, honestly I can see both sides. I think it's fine if people don't want to comment on giveaways, but I will continue to do so.

I dunno, I would just feel bad not doing it :P

I completely agree with you. Saying thanks is important no matter what. It just shows that you bothered to do something rather than nothing in recognition of someone's generosity. Whether anyone reads it or not, at least you did it :)

When I look at your profile I know you spend more time entering giveaways than participating in the forum. So I'm able to conclude that rather than attempting to appreciate the community, you're here for the free games.

Comment to entry ratio is important and rather than trying to have even comments with entries, try to get it higher.

Why are you so rude, I haven't complained or anything, I asked if there was a group like it to make my chance of winning higher, in 2 month, you entered 2k giveaway, 2 month = 60 day, 2k % 60 = 33.333, that mean you enter 33 give away per day, I counted how many hours you played on your last game won, I was tired after. You played 3.1 hours for 4 game, that mean you haven't played at least 1 hour each. You're actually here to increase your Steam account value and I'm tired of people like you. At least I have the satisfaction to only enter game I would like to play to, not you. So before talking on someone else, look at your self.

I enter into games that I've thought about trying but don't have the money to waste on a game I potentially won't like. I've already put in over an hour in my most recent win (trine), and plan on playing that one more. The win before that, I have 3 hours on, so that's already 4+ hours on 2 games. Learn2math. The games that don't have more than an hour of gameplay on I didn't like, so I'm glad that I won them and didn't buy them.

Perfectly said Pichwise. I almost thought dragonbob was trolling; his comments looked like those of a government certified retard. Rude, arrogant and dumb, a winning combination to be a perfect candidate for retroactive abortion. Spends more time acquiring games than playing them, blubbering on threads that affect him in no way, smearing his bloody tampon all over the monitor and having a hissy-fit. Tool.

I hope your luck changes soon Pich. Also hope you either grow up, or develop more than 2 braincells to rub together dragonbob.

stop being so rude, and consider the intentions of the OP, even if he wanted to complain he did so constructively. To most it doesnt look like he was complaining just asking nicely for some groups who accepts those without win.
Secondly his contributor value is more then you, that means he's contributing more to the community then you are,
So you shut up and let those get offended who have offered more to the community.

Agreed, the OP actually asked in a polite, constructive manner. I'd give him a pass. And his follow-up argument is pure awesome.

I saw some goups like this but can't recall any specific name. Didn't need it I guess - 2 weeks, 635 entries, 2 wins (well, one is soundtrack). Didn't like the Dwarfs! so I gave up on that. Look on odds os winning for reference. Join up some groups, search for private etc. for better chance.

If we compare your ratio, you have won a game at every 100 entries. He has 3x more entries like you and haven't won anything. It's not really normal compared to you :))

I agree with you on this one, I do actually think you might not have won before 1k, but the problem is that I'm losing every hope, I just enter game I actually want, (one of them is : The ship complete pack) but it is looking like that I'm losing hope and I less visit the website, one person doesn't mean a lot on the website, but if you can find a way to keep that person, he might be the first in the next contribution box.

300? this must be frustrating, because it's way worse than have 1000 entries with 0 wins
QQ more.

Talk the one with 809 entries and 4 win.

Ratio : 1 game per 200 entries

If you actually have those 1k and no win, it's alright you can comment in this thread, maybe we could become friend and I could make a private giveaway to you, but you sir are an idiot.

Please calm down and ignore them.

He wasn't talking about himself, but there are others who have maybe 3000 entries with no wins. There is no ratio of any description.

I understand that, and if there was an actual way to create giveaway with a certain ratio of win, I'll give some games to them that can't win, but correct me of I'm wrong but it doesn't exist yet or isn't implemented (tough it could be a great idea), but after all it's just that I'm losing hope, on a side I don't want but on the other I feel like its a waste of time trying and that I'll never win anything.

You can make a private group like the one you are searching for, or a private giveaway with special pre-approved rules to limit the unlucky ones.

You just have to keep on trying. There is no way to make it magically happen. It will happen when you don't expect it. Think that there are others like you who haven't won but they are still trying. And to be frank, 300 is a very low number.

I won my first giveaway at 400-500 entries and then I realised that it's better to enter private giveaways, so I started to solve puzzle giveaways, that's why I have 4 wins. If you enter giveaways with more than 1000 entries it is possible that you will never win, because chance of winning is very small.
About that 1k entries, I wasn't talking about myself.
And one more thing, I'd rather buy games myself than let friend make a giveaway for me. That sounds miserable.

Well, you guys see, I don't think I'm the only one here, many users has left the community because they weren't winning, and I ask if there a group so I don't lose hope, some people are rather nice and sweet, but others, the point is not if I "QQ" or if I'm a "Whiny Bitch" I'm just asking if there is any groups or anything BEFORE I lose hope, and the actual "QQ style" person come in those threads and say absolutely ridiculous thing, if you don't like this thread, go ahead and leave it, but don't lose your time whining in mine, I am "whining" in MY thread, if you have anything to whine about, go make your OWN thread.

No offense, but this theard is pretty dumb.

  1. you can search on the forums for this kind of groups.
  2. why you crying about no winning? you entered only 300 times, just enter the games you want and wait for the luck to show up.
    there are people who entered more then 1.5k giveaways and they didnt cry about it.

Protip: search for groups that have the words "giveaway" or "gift" or something similar to that in their name. Just remember that there are also groups that make giveaways but doesn't necessarily look like giveaway groups at first glance.

just by searching 0 wins on the search method i found 2 recent theards of groups, and 1 theard of tournament for only those who didnt win. abit further search and you will find even more.

Search term "unlucky" should bring Cherry Poppers application thread up. As mentioned by others, there are also other groups or activities around with similar theme, though Th@ Unlucky seems to have closed its application thread recently and Cherry Rumble seems to be inactive at the moment. I do not keep that close record on individual giveaways (for unlucky) as they come and go.

You aren't unlucky. That's just the way it goes. Stick around for 6 months or a year and you'll get a game or perhaps even 2. Those are the odds.
