How the heck did Camper win 2 giveaways back to back, and apparently another earlier? Voodoo SQL injections? :P

Crazy :)

at least two of them are portal, which have relatively good odds for winning compared to the rest.

I was surprised when I saw it too. If it's legit, that's some wicked luck!

Now he won 4 games ... it really seems that new people which join steamgifts gets a higher chance to win (just what i see and mention around)

Always depending on which games you enter. If you go for Portal and Humble Frozenbyte Bundle (with 20 copies) its much more likely you will win multiple times as if you would go for Portal 2 and Terraria only.

The only time I won (well, a used copy :D) was a Humble Indie Bundle #1 with 5 copies as well ... thats what you have to go for! The bigger giveaways require some serious luck!

Hmm. I'm going to check something and see if there's a bug in the system. If this works, I'll report my findings :)

Nope. But that's natural based on the odds. It's just an interesting quirk of numbers that he won 4 giveaways in a day, even if the odds were lower than most of the other giveaways.
I had a bug in mind in how the entries are processed and just tested a method to see if it made a difference in odds on one, and it did not.

He might just be lucky or not...who knows. When I first joined I won two giveaways within the first week I joined. Most of them were portal giveaways and I lost giveaways that had around 9 or 10 entries. Surprisingly I won portal from a giveaway with 41 entries rather than those I entered that had barely any entries. I won my second game, Audiosurf, from a two copy giveaway with 135 entries. It was pretty rare at the time to win two gifts. There were only around maybe 100 people that won two or more giveaways when I won my second one. Judging from the Frozenbyte Collection he won, he's just lucky because he's entering giveaways that have multiple copies and don't have a high demand, but who knows.

definately a little luck to win that many, if people actually get annoyed about this, maybe a limit on how many wins per day could be implemented.

He entered for games pretty much everyone has. Like humble bundle and Portal 1. Pretty much every 30 minutes someone makes a portal or HB giveaway. Chances to win one are pretty high.
