Number of copies/Number of entires
This should be really simple. It's typically something like 1/1500. Statistically speaking, you're only "unlucky" once you get to about 4500 entries without winning - that's a 95 percent chance of winning at least something by then.

Hmm, 1 - result from http://www.steamgifts.com/forum/awfIu/what-are-the-chances-of-losing-a-giveaway :P
Also probability isn't measured in percents, per milles etc. It's normally real value between 0 and 1 (0 and 1 included). Of course percents, per milles etc falls under this terms but their usage is incorrect by semantic meaning - just saying :P

I don't know who'd measure probability in per miles (?!) but percent makes perfect sense. For example, 5% is between 0 and 1. It's equal to 0.05.

Percent (%) is 1 part in 100. Per mille (‰) is 0.1 of percent... 1 part in 1 000 basis point (‱) is 0.1 of per mille and 0.01 of percent, meaning 1 part in 10 000. And so on and so on...
Basically in probability no one is using percents... unless you can point me to some well known book or arcticle about probability using percents or other parts-per notation elements. Of course it's 100% correct as long as set of all events counts 100/1000/10000/etc. events/elements. Just saying :P

Didn't even see the second "l" in milles, assumed you had meant miles. Learnt something new today.

Most people win their first game by the time they've entered 3000 giveaways. You've got a ways to go, still.
Oh, and my first win was Skyrim Legendary. (Thanks, Delta! D)

depends on your religion. Atheists get nothing and satanists can even lose some games from steam library. You should study the Gaben's Book of Life for more information and proper sacrifice instructions.

Anyone who wins consistently have given over their souls to the Dark Gods and are therefore HERETICS that must be BLAM'D!

Usually people take a shot of an alcoholic beverage of their choice each time a thread like this comes up. We actually had to ban that drinking game cause we were losing far too many good people to alcohol poisoning.

Recent Evolve Alpha dramas might suggest that has it has more than its fair share of dedicated tossers though...

that is the naked truth, sir. for every 500 bucks you contribute, you get +1 entry for every giveaway you enter. that's why people here in forums use +1 when they agree with someone.

So that's why after I reached 500 CV I won a lot of stuff.

no one has ever made it 5000 entries without a win, so thats that. xD

Firstly, insert a healthy amount of explosives into your rectum. Dynamite is best: The Choice of Champions™... Now place an old (circa 1970) calculator close to the fuse, and attempt to divide a number of your choice by zero.

0.01%? Or less? I've been sending entries but haven't gotten anything so I guess it must be very low. Also, if you've already won a giveaway, what's the first giveaway you won?
