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.

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.

So far it seems to be 0.27% from the two posts above :D

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.

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.

+1 you can not calculate the average because it simpy depends on number of entries on each giveaway if you only join aaa titles giveaways with +5000 entries then ofcourse its going to be worse than 0.27%.

It's called statistics and it's a science ;)

I just noticed that you have the highest win rate among everyone who posted in this thread!

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

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

11807 Entries vs 545 wins, so for me it's ~21.66 Entries per Win. But it all depends dramatically on what GAs you enter. I you mostly enter Group and Private/Puzzle GA your avg will be much lower than someone who goes for public GAs only.
