I've entered 787 giveaways by now (and increasing), and my estimated wins are 1.20. Why didn't I received a gift by now? It all depends on luck?

Something bad happens when you don't win by the 1,000 entry.

1000 entries and no wins? It's can't be real! I don't know any person who entered more than 1000 giweaways and doesn't win.

You can giveaway games to raise you chances significantly, If not - you will be entering giveaways with 0.000xx chance of win

It just means you're a tiny bit unluckier than average. 1.2 is the average number of wins a person would have if they'd made the same entries as you.

Keep entering giveaways and you'll win eventually, also you're probably the 1000th person to post a thread of this kind this month, so you might win something for that :P

In the meantime try to ninja one of these:

100 : the number of entries
so if there is 1000 entries for a giveaway your chance is 100:1000=0.1%

If I roll a six-sided dice 6 times it doesn't guarantee that one of those rolls will be a 6. It just means that one of those rolls will PROBABLY be a 6.

Learn to game the system. Buy 100 copies of the Humble Alan Wake Bundle at $1 each, give them away and you'll get $5,000 in CV. Suckers will never know what hit them.

i get it that these question are annoying to old members, but maybe its not clear in the FAQs

the estimated wins is just number to represent the chances you got from entering the giveaway, you can have 5.5 and still win nothing as its all about luck.

How many times do the words luck and random need to show up in the FAQ to be sure everyone understands that, after even ignoring the estimated part in that number you are looking at?

Check SteamGiftsPlus to see a % of win for each giveaway. Winner is chosen by Mr. Random, but i think luck is quite important too :P

You ever tried flipping a coin? Technically, you should get it right 50% of the time, but you won't always do that. Even tho statistics says you should have 2 wins after 4 flips that might not happen.
