Does anyone else think that the stats page is broken these days?
One week ago I won a copy of Fake Colors (last thing I won bit I digress) and the luck per month stat said that I was at the exact amount (not more and not less AKA 0) estimated. Now, a week later it's stating that I am at 3 games under the estimated. Shouldn't that take almost a month to get to?

And is anyone else getting current stats like these? And yes I have things entered for these days with low entries.

you had a 100% chance to win Fake Colours so that is +0 luck. Since then, you haven't won anything, thus "bad luck"

Actually, that 100% chance was shown for the day AFTER Fake Colors ended, for some odd reason. Fake Colors ended Monday, the 100% chance showed Tuesday for me.

And the stats I was asking is the straight line of 0%-1%.

I don't know what time zone you are in, but stats are calculated UTC (+/- an hour I can't remember)

How odd. Maybe my time setting got messed up because it's never been off before.
Edit- just looked and it's still fine.

Is the time zone on the site based off their server time? I'm in PST and have noticed that the stats are off by about 6-8 hours (kind of hard to pinpoint since the rollover time is while I'm asleep lol)

GA times show based on my time zone, but daily stats rollover separate from my day ... which I would presume is server time

Ah, I gotcha. It's the same deal for me here for GA times. I think the giveaway times are based upon what the website pulls from your browser data (at least that's how I understood it in the settings menu). By any chance do you know which time zone "server time" is based in?

If I remember correctly, I think it's GMT -1 ... so maybe about 4 PM PDT? I'll try to check the stats the hour before and after but I know it around that time of day.

You do realize that even while winning a giveaway it adds to the estimated wins? I'm not sure how the stats rounds up or down but lets use an example: Say you have estimated wins of 2.3 and you have won 3 giveaways. Rounded it would mean 2 to 3 telling you are lucky cause you won +1 more giveaways then estimated. Now you win another giveaway with a total of 2 entries (so you have a 50 % winning chance which will add to your estimated wins). Your new stats look like this: Estimated 2.8 and won 4 or rounded 3 to 4. Even after winning you have still just won +1 more giveaways then estimated. At one point those two stats will automatically catch up.
As for the second. Let's say you entered another 6 giveaways with low entries (for example 2 => more 50 % winning chances). So now you have 3 more estimated wins => new stats estimated 6, won 4 which means you are unlucky by -2. So if you entered a lot of low entries giveaway this last week the stats seem to be correct.

ARGH! MATH HEADACHE!!!

Sorry, but math was always my worst point so numbers like that are lost on me. But I appreciate the try.
