Is there a way to know your estimated wins? You know, without going through the number of entries through each of your entered giveaway?

Could add it via SG+. It'd just have to go through each entered giveaway and do the math.

Approx. 1 per 133 entries. Calculate for yourself.

1 per 133 for me?

For everyone. That's the average number of entries one needs to possibly win one game.

The average number of entries for a decent game is 1000+. Even the most crappy game can get a couple of hundred entries, so the chance of winning any game is slimmer than 1 per 133.

I did say it is the average number of entries, didn't I? Remember that some people enter mostly private and group GA, like me, have much higher chance to win a game than other people. So the average is balanced out.

I just created a little script to calculate my estimated wins because I was curious.
But I am not sure if my result is correct - I calculated it like following:
1 / (n° entries to GA1) + 1 / (n° entries to GA2) + ...

I think that should be correct but maybe someone can tell me if my math is wrong...
