So I've been having a bad luck streak these past couple days. I didn't win a Sam and Max Season 1 giveaway that had 2 entries in it. Then I didn't win an Unreal Deal Pack giveaway with 14 entries in it. And then, a few hours ago, I didn't win a Sam and Max Season 1 giveaway with 3 entries in it.

I dunno, I feel like the random-gods are after me. So have a giveaway and hope that your luck is stronger than mine!

What about you guys? I mean, someone has to have had some crappy luck when trying to win something they were sure they were gonna win.

Once I lost a giveaway with a 50% chance to win and another with a 40% chance to win within a minute of each other. That was fun.

How do you get a 40% chance to win on steam gifts?

The 50% was also multiple I think.

I would have liked to be entered in those Sam & Max giveaways.

I can feel your pain with Unreal though. I was entered in a 14 entry giveaway and a 17 entry giveaway for it. :P

Edit - I was expecting someone to point out I won Unreal after 8 hours. :P

In total you should've had a 90% chance of winning at least one of those giveaways. You are very unlucky.

Yeah. And a couple weeks ago, I didn't win a Civ V giveaway with 3 people in it. But these 3 are within a day or so of each other.

A little napkin math gives me about a 31% chance of not winning a 1:2 giveaway, 1:3 giveaway, and 1:14 giveaway.

So really, you're not that unlucky. Heck, my napkin math (admittedly I'm rusty) shows a 1/3 chance of not winning the 1:3 and 1:2 giveaways.

2/3 chance to not win a 1:3 giveaway, 1/2 chance to not win 1:2 giveaway. 1:14 means 13/14 chance of not winning.

66.7%+50%+92.8%=209.5

209.5/300= 0.6983, or 69.8% So I had a 70% chance of winning one of these giveaways. The fact that I didn't is pretty bad. Especially of 2 of those 3 were of the same game.

I was just scammed today...first scam ever...

But didn't care about it. The feeling that I was scammed sucks but it was a bundle key that wasn't worth anything and the guy seemed to be ecstatic that he scammed the game off of me.

Anyways...you won 15 gifts dude! Be happy that you won something!

I can't tell you how many 35-50% giveaways I've failed at because I lost count long ago. My solution was to turn my lucky streak into a game. I am trying to reach 10.0 Estimated Wins without winning a single giveaway. I also have a target of about 2000 giveaways entered. The way I look at it, it's a win-win situation. Either I win a giveaway, or I surpass all previous record-holders for "bad luck." )

Your situation doesn't allow that, however. All you can do to feel better is to remember all of the games you've won and that there are those who are less fortunate than yourself. Compare yourself to those who have less than you rather than those who have more.

I'm not comparing myself to people who have more than me; nor am I comparing to those who have less than me. I am just throwing myself a pity party for having bad luck. Not really much more x3
