Estimated wins with 0 gifts won, who has the highest I wonder

Closed

So, I just looked and saw I'm up to 2.01 "estimated wins" with 0 actual wins and it got me thinking, how bad is it for some people before your first win. I'm considering a giveaway to the person with the highest estimated but still not won anything.

Now I'm up to 2:0 I'm curious to see how high I can get before I win.

Mine was around 3.5 (~2000 entries) by the time I won my first giveaway.

This has actually been rather enlightening going through and seeing peoples profile wins/loss/not received etc. Currently have 2 people on my list for a private giveaway, will most likely be Thursday when I have time but will look at their wanted games list, see what matches and throw something up so If I've mentioned your on my list, update your wishlist!

If you enter a 2-entry giveaway your estimated wins is 0,5.
If you then enter another 2-entry giveaway it will be 1,0.
Your actual gifts won might be either 0, 1 or 2.

I know that group from long ago, but personally I'm not interested, simply because I'm having fun just like this and not desperate to win a game like others... (:P). I only enter in giveaways for games I want to play.

Many thanks though ^_^

Well, I've entered 1,057 giveaways, have an estimated 3.42 wins, and I've only won one of the 25,000 keys for Galactic Arms Race. Not terrible, I suppose, but it feels pretty bad for me.

I find it interesting how this thread has mostly been Hijacked by people complaining about not being equal to estimated wins. in reality I was only curious about those that hadn't YET won anything, that is with 0 wins.. yes ZERO!!! wins

Just recently, I had precisely identical estimated and actual wins. They've gotten very slightly out of sync now, but they're still pretty close.

Quick! I need to win 0.24 of a giveaway so they can be the same again!

i'm currently at 7.13 EW with 0 wins. I'm trying to reach at least 10 EW before I get my first win, but it's a bit tricky raising one's EW without actually winning. I'm in a few groups made expressly for those who haven't won anything, and that helps, but as soon as I do win, I'll be kicked, from them. lol

yes, they do exist, it seems I won my first thing yesterday however still on the lookout before I raise a private giveaway tonight/tomorrow for high estimated wins with 0 actual.

How to get the 0 wins and high estimated wins:

Join tons of group/private giveaways. Once you win a game buy the same game you won and reject the win.

Seem like a theory?
