Fast points generation still as unlucky. Orphan keys may be involved.

Results-based thinking. What is it?

Well the hidden giveaway here is too well hidden

Winning 8 games in a month hardly puts you in the unlucky category. It takes some users months to win half as much.

You won 8 games with less than 2000 entries. It took me more than 3 thousand to win my first game. You're anything but unlucky :)

I hardly even find any good giveaways to enter, so I rarely use them. xD

hm don't expect to win a lot of public giveways, most of them have +500 entries, so you have 1/500 to win.. nowadays most of them have more entries so yeah those odds aren't on your favor.. if you want to win something, you better join private giveways (here on the forum) or private giveway groups.. I won 1.2k ~ giveways only 25 of them were public

But the points are regenerating faster for all people so your chances are not higher than usually.

Also stop entering wishlist only and high point GA's. Mostly the bots win those.

I enter all my wishlist and I KNOW I'll never win those. Glares at all those Resident Evil 0 GA's

I have even entered for low budget indie games

unless Im missing the point here...which might very well be...that statement is not gonna earn you a lot of friends here
I try to only enter GAs that are either on my wishlist or look interesting to me...havent run out of points in a while

Try entering stuff that is region restricted, level restricted, low entry, and short duration. Those are your best bets.

you aren't unlucky.

instead you would be lucky to win in a 2000+ entries public lv0-3 ga. ┐(´ー｀)┌

Here is a random key for someone to grab. Not sure what it is so be surprised like me!!
QEB2H-3L7HE-2HN8? . The ? = the first letter of the animal that is opposite of a dog for a home pet.

You're welcome

I feel your pain :) It's been since december 2016 that i won something. Although i have to admit, i only join my wishlist giveaways so that diminishes my chances somewhat.

You win a lot more public giveaway than I did, so I would say you are actually pretty lucky. My experience is that if it's public, especially low level, the chance to win is basically zero. You should try to join some groups if you want better chances. You can try out Playing Appreciated if you like playing your wins, for example.

And since you guys have been so willing to watch me moan about not winning that much here is another random key i have laying around that is a mystery. 9YHXG-F58MH-I6C?0. The ? = the first letter of a small stringed instrument played with a bow.

https://www.steamgifts.com/stats/personal/community - you can see here whether you have been unlucky. The second chart mathematically and statistically counts your chances in every giveaway you entered. You can see if you have won more or less gifts than mathematically estimated.

If you claim a key in the discussion please let everyone know and what game it is. Thanks

I always have the same first question whenever anyone posts one of these threads:

What's your luck-per-month at? Just to help give us an idea whether you're even statistically unlucky or not. A lot of people tend to overlook how even a few gifts can be very lucky if they're entering giveaways with thousands of entries everytime.

(if you're not sure to find it, go over to the points area and click the down area -> my stats -> look for the luck per month graph, and it'll be the number at the end of the paragraph)

Oops, nevermind, I just saw the post like two above where someone already asked

4 month Im in. But every HB I loose :(
Looks like no one here knows about the difference between mathematical expectation and theory of probability.

But you are lucky!

Here is another mystery orphan key for your enjoyment ( or displeasure). XPACG-XFV2K-RM8Z? ? = the first letter of the name of a 25 cent coin in the United States.

Here is another one YCCQJ-5DKT8-25FK? ? = The first letter of the company Steve Jobs was founder of. Hint: not mac

And here comes another. NLC44-7DZVV-G8C9? ?= The same character as the one to the left of it.

I've actually been very lucky lately, 5 wins in the past 3 weeks. Not sure if it's the new point generation algorithm, or just the old random number generator.

Joining groups, and being fortunate enough to be added to some folks' Whitelists, is probably the best way to win on this site.
