The law of averages will catch up to everyone, eventually :)

Congrats on beating the stats!
It doesn't matter whether you enter giveaways with a small or large number of people though. This has no effect on your general "luckiness" in terms of actual vs estimated wins, since your estimated wins are directly proportionate to the number of entrants (as is your chance of actually winning, obviously).
Anyway, I consider myself incredibly lucky, both in the number and quality of games won (and also very grateful!)

I consider myself to be extremely lucky on this site, though my ratio isn't nearly as high as yours, mine is 1.15.
I'm super happy with my 36 wins on this site (I have one unreceived)

I've been looking around at quite a few people's Gifts Won to Estimated Win's ratios (A sample size of around 25 forum users) and nearly all of them is right around 1, or their actual wins is right about where it should be or even a bit lower.
Looking at my ratio, I have 9 wins compared to my 5.29 estimated wins - that's nearly a ratio of two, or one more win and I would have doubled my estimated wins.
None of mine were group or private giveaways with a large chance to win, nor have i ever won a developer giveaway with like 10,000 copies or something. And of course, I haven't cheated or anything.
I was just seeing how many other people are just getting lucky and have a Gift's Won to Estimated Wins ratio of nearly 2 or more. Except if you have won like 3 games and your estimated wins is 1.5, that's hardly anything.
I always see people talking about how they don't win enough or how they are way past due for a win. There are even plenty of groups for these unlucky ones. But I guess I have never felt their pain because I am doing pretty well off haha, so...
Any super lucky people out there?
