Steam"gifts"

I like how his name is ROI

Patience my friend. I was feeling kind of like you. Made a bunch of giveaways and for a month or so with many many entries I won nothing. Then out of nowhere I won two games in two days!!! Your time will come.

Wah!

It is what it is, dude. In my experience, dry spells don't last longer than... 12... 13 years. :D XD

so sad :( cry me ariver dude !

Man, kids and they're "If it's completely random, why aren't I winning?" way of false reasoning.

You're an error. No offense.

no one gives a fuck, the less chance you dont win the more chance for others to win :3 ///thread

You are probably having the ID-10-T error. No know fix for it

I know how you feel, same here :(

Ihave never won anything and have given away more than $100 ... it's random deal with it. There are ways the givers can improve odds for people but if they don't do that then it's very hard to win.

I personally make my giveaways for contributors only AND last one 1 hour so that the odds are much better. My giveaways often have 25-30 entries and often I giveaway 4 copies so those are MUCH better odds than 3000+ entries and only 1 winner. Long giveaways just end up racking up the entries and making the odds suck.

Why there are always people who create threads like this and start whining thinking they are the only ones who don't win a lot of games here. Seriously, WHY?

At this point, I mostly stopped giving away here only because everything I want, rarely is there a giveaway for it (plus I've entered enough to know that I won't win) and I've given more than I've gotten out of here so I usually reserve my stuff for friends or other online communities that I actually get something back from (whether it be physical, emotional or whatnot).

when I read such posts, I sometimes think this is Steam"gits"

There is nothing wrong with this website, Its completely random and there is no error in your account.

@TS: Like I already mentioned on a similar thread before, if you join 1000 giveaways with 1000 entries on average, chances are around 66% (not precise, someone good with math teach me this please) that you are going to win at least one giveaway. So, if you have 1000 entries and won 1 game, consider yourself lucky. What happens is that you are looking only at active people's profiles. Most people don't even read the forums or comment on giveaways so you wouldn't see their names, and wouldn't click on their profiles to find out most don't get a lot of games. Stay active and you will win.

I take it you're the sort that also believes that Christmas is about receiving? A gift is something that you offer, not something that you expect. Take it from someone else who has only offered bundle games and has given more than received. Don't rightly care if I win or not, though when I do I enjoy it thoroughly. Just keep giving and be happy for what you do get, and how you make others feel when they win what you give them. If you can't fit the bill for either side of that then this may not be the site for you.

whine

ADD TO THE LIST!!!! hahahah

Yes

Do you believe in magic?

I think the question of randomness comes up becuase he is saying his friend won 3 in 1 day. I also have a friend who won at least 3 games in won day and can understand it makes you feel like something is wrong. Statistically though, not winning is perfectly normal and should be expected. Your friend most likely has access to private groups, high contributer value giveaways, or entering puzzle giveaways, all which have better odds, and some really good luck.
If you want a game so bad, buy it. If you see a game a lot in a short space of time, then that usually means it's on sale somewhere. Thats the only material benefit you should be looking for from this site, knowning to look for where to obtain cheap games, not winning free ones.
Expect to win and you will lose, expect to lose and you will win, and I dont mean just the game.

What part of random chance is hard for people to understand?

You are not entitled to win anything. Deal with it.

I have not won anything in 5 days, you get to learn to cope with the pain. XD
