I'm at 4,292 and a paltry 9 wins.
Give it time.
HAHAHAA!!!! I just saw that this was my 666th comment too. :P

Around 1,000 entries to a win is the going average. If we ignore all other factors such as number of entries, CV giveaways, groups etc.
Any rate higher than that is considered witchcraft.

There are really a lot of factors contributing to win rates, but that does seem like a going rate, if not actually an above average rate. Most giveaways it gets to around <0.01% chance to win.
Also worth checking up on Khalaq. Khalaq is infamous on SG for his poor win rate :p

why the heck you pick 0.27%?
did you even look at how he won?
2 of them are even private!
average is picking the lowest and the highest from the whole community...
picking the highest... makes me wonder if you understand the meaning about average.

1 is group?
and the other 2 are private...

Uhm... 5,307 entries and 12 wins. Learning witchcraft proved to be useful after all :D

your chances to win are always 1 / number of total entries.
if you want to increase your chances, enter giveaways with less total entries.
no need to "figure out" an average, random is random.

well then, here are my numbers:
it took me about 400 entries, but then again I joined over 2 years ago. the site wasn't open for everyone (invite only) so there was a smaller user base -> less competition.
there were no CV giveaways either, so everyone could enter every giveaway.
the point-generation-formula was different, too.
you see, these numbers don't help at all if the circumstances aren't equal for all users :P

pretty funny. ValkyrenSaga only listing to the people he wanna listing to. 1 problem... the others are right lol.

I have noticed that with a few people and myself where when they win, it seems to be around the same time period.

That sounds like witchcraft, and witchcraft is HERESY!

293,128,345 entries / 772,466 received gifts = 379 avg entries per win

I think about 1/1000-1200 is the going rate if entering public only giveaways. As has been said before, it totally depends on how many entrants there are. I used to often avoid giveaways that had or looked like having over 1000 entries when I was entering more public giveaways so I'd have probably had a better rate.
My rate now is 1 win in every 37 because of group giveaways.

The universe has a balance to it. If you never win anything on SG, then it will still come somehow... maybe a hooker will show up on your front door offering her services for free and on top of that, she doesn't have any STDs = WIN

Does anyone happen to know the average entries a user needs to win a giveaway?
If you don't then please post your entries and wins so that we can figure that out.
