So, a 1 in 7 chance will lose, but a 1 in 728 chance will win...

...luck is weird.

So I've been waiting to see how long it takes before a total leech (like me) can win a giveaway on Steam Gifts. Assuming I'm an average case, it seems to be roughly 700 entries.

Now that that's over, I guess I should start giving back, huh?

It's even worse when you miss a GA with few entries by just a few seconds u.u

Don't feel bad. Based on what the posts above you are saying, you would've lost anyway.

If you're just doing public giveaway, most people seem to flutter around 1k entries before they win.

But thanks for finally contributing! :) No one says you have to give a lot, but I think everyone should give at least a little.

How does karma work anyway?
Without giving anything much (I had created 4 giveaways for 2 years), I had won 36 games. Now in past 2 weeks I have created 6 giveaways, and won nothing lol (even in 100$+ contributors).
