I don't think "sent" stats is necessary to define how unlucky you are. But well, I definitely luckier than you are.

Won ratio (Won/Entered)
1:123.34 (even a good sequence number? lol)

Also, you may be unluckier than you thought if you consider your Received Value ($0.00). You can boost your lucky: here

That's surprising lol. I thought it will be easier to get lucky there. I mostly won games from Playing Appreciated (PA) group, but now closed for invite. If you're aiming to play all games, PA, Playing Matters, or other groups with playing requirement are probably a good place for lower entries, higher chances.

I assume you look at the wrong place of this stats. Would be strange when the fewer or more (in red or green) aren't listed when you are not login for timeframe X.

And that is more or less the only stat that really says how lucky or unlucky you were because it factors in the actual chances of winning every individual giveaway you entered. The entered/won-ratio says nothing. If you only enter giveaways with very few entries per copy, you naturally win a lot more of these than when entering ones with a lot of entries per copy.

It's true*. You win a lot more in giveaways with few entries but the ones you don't win drive your luck per month down at a greater proportion than the giveaways with lots of entries. So you can win a lot of the easier giveaways but your luck stat can look worse because of the ones you didn't win.

*That's my experience so far, don't know if that's true for everyone.

That can be true for smaller sample sizes. The larger the sample size gets, the closer you'll get to the statistical average of your cumulated probabilities. In any case the statement "The entered/won-ratio says nothing" (about actual luck) still stands though.

you should be able to see it, its the last sentence in the text above the chart, its based off odds of winning each individual giveaway(num copies and total entry count), for reference I took about 8 years off and came back recently.

me for example: See if you've been lucky or unlucky throughout the past year. The graph estimates the number of giveaways you should have won each month based on the giveaways you entered, and displays the difference compared to the number of gifts you actually won. Overall, you've been lucky, and won 3 more gifts than estimated since you first joined.

despite that most of 2023 I am in the unlucky side for the charts.. we will see how my luck truly is come Sep 28th.

If you want to compare stats how lucky or unlucky someone is i think proportinal luck is the way to go.
For example a person who won 800 games but the stat says "unlucky you won 12 fewer" is far more lucky then a guy who won 10 games where the stat says "unlucky you won 12 fewer".

The person in this thread did it if you are interested.
