It's not like I don't understand the word, I don't understand what it means, the theory behind it and such.
Like is it some calculated value with my entries and wins, I'm kinda confused^^

He actually answerd your question witch, let me say, it's prety pointless as you can't really say you didn't know the answer.
Anyway it's a calculated by the adding the winning chances of the giveaways you entered.

Its calculated based on the giveaways you've entered, and the percentage chance of winning based on the number of people who entered those giveaways. Based on those probabilities of winnings, its how many gifts your estimated to have won. It serves no practical value beyond demonstrating how un/lucky a user is.

Estimated Wins

This is a number calculated by the chance you had of winning each giveaway you have entered. If you entered a giveaway with a 50% chance of winning, your Estimated Wins will increase by 0.5, no matter if you won or lost. This number is no indication that you should have won that many games, it is simply to allow you to see if you are more or less lucky than what the odds allow.

194 to 193.96.

I think that qualifies only as 'negligibly lucky' on the Tyche scale.

What does one even do with so many wins, though, right? :P

It's not word. It's about logic. You for example don't seem to understand what he meant.
