easy formula

Closed
NemhainUA

Hey! I have an idea how to improve interface! Can u add little percent meter that will show your chance to win in percents. Its easy formula: 100/entries+1 (1 its you) = ur winning chance. For example on Terraria giveaway we have 951 entries: 100/951+1=0,11%
Thank you for attention! Cheers!

...why? The percent and the fraction are the same thing, and since you only ever get one entry, it's not like it's hard to compare giveaways.

Just do it in your head. If there are 900 entries, your odds are 1 in 900.

Actually in a giveaway like Skyrim with 3300 people, your chance of winning is 0.03%. :P

You could probably hack together something in greasemonkey and add it to the SG Enhancement Add-on (if you have endless scroll enabled)

Here's my hack of it, add this after line 183 (on line 184) in SG Enhancement Addon v1.3.5

Here's a link to the code
edit3: updated where to paste it for v1.3.4 of SEA
edit2: fixed to account for multiple copies, thanks @NemhainUA
edit1: revised so NaN doesn't pop up if 'featured giveaway' isn't open yet

Image of what it does, to steamgift.com, /new, and /open pages, with endless scroll really big image

In that case, I suggest you do a clean install of both scripts - remove the SG Enhancement 1.2.9 script, then re-add it and add my snippet after line 143 (on line 144)

It should come right after this block: 

if(elms.length > 0)
{
  if($('div.post').length > 0) { $('div.post').last().after(elms); }
  else { $('div.pagination').first().after(elms); }
}

Download the source (right click, save as) and do the same edits to it in notepad. Then, install it into Chrome (drag and drop it on Google Chrome and install, open the .js file with Google Chrome, etc)

Here's the Steam Enhancement Addon with my addition
