Wouldn't happen. What would happen is the usual for SG: a few people will open threads, a few others will post on these same threads chiming in, and a lot of others will rage about these people's right to post, making these threads the most popular threads, until they are closed.

How do you have 80% ? It's (1/2)^(n-1) in giveaways or did i miss something ?

25,000 copies; 29,740 Entries -> 84% chance to win

... X entries when the giveaway closes, each person's win chance = 1/X.
With your formula, for a 'typical' public giveaway with 1000 entries, everyone would have 1/(2^1000) chance of winning. Which is astronomically small compared to 1/1000 chance of winning xD

Math fail. Don't screw up the simple things by trying to make them needlessly harder. Provided everyone has an equal chance of winning, you chance to win is (# of copies) / (# of entries). That's it.

I feel you, but look at these comments people say to you ...WoW!

Indeeed, where's that utopian place you guys are talking about?

500+ entries, with several of them being >50% odds, and I still haven't won. For the record, of someone who audits me and sees I 'won' something. It was a dlc I entered for when steamgifts was new and I didn't realize it was dlc. I tried to tell them to give it to someone else, and never got a reply.

I know, laugh it up. I deserve it. T.T It really was a huge insult. It was before I ever saw the banners that indicate dlc. Even if you did include it, I'm still at 1 in ~542, which is pretty low.

It was a long time ago. Steamgifts was pretty new.

Odds of more than 50%? Then you were the only entrant and can't have lost. Doubt you mean that really?

???
GAR had 80%+ for everyone. No one was an only entrant, and anyone could lose. Same thing can apply for other giveaways(as long as they give more that 1 key).

I was also in several private givaways among my friends, where I was one of 2 or 3 entrants. Cant even win those.

I'd mock you for not even trying Google, but instead I'm feeling generous.

on the top menu of steamgifts, you click 'giveaways', then click 'view won'
you will then see the steam key, copy it.
open up your steam client, click 'games' on the top menu, then click 'activate a product on steam'
then you just have to follow the directions, click 'I agree' to the "Steam Subscriber Agreement",
enter your code you copied, click next and your done!
