I'm just sort of curious if anyone is in the same boat as me here. I've entered 388 giveaways, and haven't won any of them. Don't get me wrong, I'm not really complaining, I'm just wondering.

I am starting to think there needs to be a rule in the faq saying, "don't ask really stupid questions based on how the laws of probability work."

But Helen, how will we ever defeat the Germans with such outdated laundry technology?

We need to attack them, right in their squirrels.

1 month is nothing man, and 391 loses is nothing considering many giveaways seem to get a minimum of 300 participants, and easily gets above 1000-2000. Statistics suck, keep at it, and you'll eventually win. One of the reasons I didn't like the EW being removed is that people would see if they were to have likely won anything by any given point, but I understand that too many people took it as they should have won something by the time they reach 1.01

And try not to double post.

If you enter 388 giveaways with 1000 persons participating in each of them, the probability that you don't win anything is 67.82%.

Only 388? There are people here with over a year or two with over a thousand plus entries that haven't won a thing. It takes patience. Although, I don't think I'm going to win another thing again myself but that's my way of thinking. Positive, though.
I'm positive I won't win anything again. :P

I was just under 1000 entries when I got my first win.
Impatience is not a virtue.

Thanks for the comments, I'll keep entering giveaways, and again, I'm not upset that I don't win :P

Just keep entering GAs, and NEVER expect to win. Even if you want the game badly ^^'. Just do it a bit everyday, you go through every pages when you have time and grab interesting stuff and one day you'll have the surprise to see that you won something ^^

Here are some milestones to shoot for. If you accomplish these, your first win will probably be just around the corner.

  • Over 2000 entries.
  • Over one year of activity on SG.
  • Membership in at least two different private giveaway groups.
  • More than five non-bundled gifts given away by you to other people.
  • People in the forum see you posting often enough to know your name.

780 and 0 so far, but one kind soul did gift me back a game directly via email when I sent them their key from one of my giveaways. Which was nice.

I was lucky to win a copy of Terraria just recently, just a few days after creating my account. I guess you have to just enter as many GAs as you can.

Usually though, I end up buying the games featured in most of the GAs here when they're on sale.

I've won 3/525 giveaways I entered. Odds were good though. 84 entries with 3 copies to give. Others had 166 and 311 entries. I never really expect to win so it's a nice surprise when I do. The first time I won I jumped out of bed to turn my pc on right away haha. What? It's all I have to look forward to. :B

I've only won two maybe three public giveaways out of probably 1500 entries, chances are pretty low.
