Just wondering, I've seen a lot of people with 200-300 entries and 1-2 gifts won. I'm close to 400 but it doesn't seem like I have any chance.
Any advises on how'd it make it a bit more clear and maybe easier, or it happens on the matter of luck.
Would appreciate any comment lol

I would suggest reading it too.
Also it's more like pseudorandom IIRC, but not that it matters much.

In what way is it pseudorandom?

In that AFAIK random cannot be achieved. But for what we are concerned it does not matter much.

Well, it's true that computers can't produce random results, and if you believe in a deterministic universe nothing at all is random, but it is random enough to be called random. It would be pseudorandom if it appeared to be random but wasn't actually random.

Your individual entries don't mean as much as total entries in the giveaways entered.

Estimated win : 0.39

Stop entering in giveaway with billions of people in it and your chance might slightly become higher.

Then contribute some games and join contributor giveaways which don't have a million entries.

Pretty obvious, no?

In that case however you can buy the game yourself and you have 100% chance you get it

your odds depend on how many people enter the same giveaways as you. In your profile there's a little stat that shows how many you would have won in a perfect odds world given your entries.

my advice is stop leeching and start giving, thus you can enter contributor giveaway, or join private group

Your best bet is to do the puzzles on the forum and/or join a group that performs the giveaways.

not another guy who cries. what's it with people? you just need to calculate. if there's a public giveaway with no contribution required, there will most likely be 500 people entering in an hour - regardless of the offered gift. that means, that you have 1:500 chance to win. that's such a small number, that i bet you can't even write it down. if you enter 2000 of those.. well, then you'll learn to contribute first, then expect winning.
