Keeping it balanced

Not really. Too hard to keep it balanced, it just keeps getting further away.

A balanced ratio is preferred though what ratio you are happy with is up to you. My preferred ratio for myself is 1/10 while i look for at least balanced from those who enter my g/a's before deciding to blacklist. Dailyindiegame.com is a great site to get games for cheap giveaways. 10-12 games for $2; can't go wrong with that.

I prefer quality vs quantity tho. Don't think I'll ever have a balanced ratio, but yea :/

I don't keep mine balanced exactly, though I'd rather give more than I win... but I definitely won't let it go lower than 1:1 ratio (wins:giveaways).

I failed pretty badly at the balanced ratio thing.

Yes.

However, it isn't much of a problem since I give some games away constantly, and so far haven't had more wins than gave away.
But I wouldn't want to have more wins than gave, since I already just giveaway bundled crap. :P

I don't really care about my ratio or other people's ratio. I try to give away as much as I can and to win as much as I can.

i giveaway as much as possible!!

need a lot more wins to get it balanced :D

I used to think I'd like to keep it balanced too. I discovered SG with something around 300 games in my account and quite a list of bundlegames. I gave away a game here and there and then started trading. Over the months my account grew more and more up to the point where almost every game ever bundled (and desired) has been acquired.
I still like to buy bundles and discover new games I maybe have never heard of and I would enjoy. But I quit the trading completely. Therefore I have much more games to give away and the giving list grows and grows. I still like winning, but I do not enter as many giveaways as I did in my beginning days and I'm much pickier. Also I like to give away some good stuff to the community, not just bundle games, so even with a wallet as small as mine I eventually buy something just to give it away. So I'm afraid my balanced days are over. (Which is not really a bad thing).

Men, a balanced ratio would be awesome!

Personally I like it to be balanced ^^
And there was a time I was 50 games less given away than my won games, but all changed when the fire nation attacked.
And now I'm with my ration almost perfectly balanced :3

Yes, I try to keep a balance. Unfortunately I can't win games fast enough though. ;)
Real answer: No.

Fun fact: most of my winners have very unbalanced ratios. It's also rarely those that were commenting (unfortunately).

People interested in the community = people who are commenting.

If you want the real picture, look at people's profiles. Here you will only get the opinions from people that are the active community, that enjoy to share and communicate.

no..just try to give when you have $ ::)

I try to keep my number of giveaways created ahead of my GA's won.
Right now is balanced, but it won't be like that for too long :P

At some point I will have to worry about balanced GA to win ratio, but I seem to be the unluckiest at these giveaway things(probably doesn't help that I did a (really) stupid in my first month as a user)

Well, it was hard for me to make giveaways some time ago, and even now I don't have an income but I try to make giveaways when I can. Currently I'm trying to get a 1:1 ratio (I'm getting close!) :p

not exactly but sometimes you can get out of blacklist for that
but it still depend on your wallet though hehehe

I don't mind my my ratio much, just has to be more gives than wins. I give when I have/can get something to give, and win when the RNG gods smile upon me.

Well, I try to give some games when I can ..
Won games/GAs = 1.75 and GAs/WG= 0.57
Coincidence?
Dunno ..
But anyway #Illuminati.

Do you mean balanced in # of wins to # given away ?
Or do you mean $ value of wins to $ value given away ?

Either way, I don't think I'll every get balanced ...

Of course, I'm pretty close to a 1/10 ratio for #, so I've got that going for me.

I'm doing a bad job, but yes.

This topic make me to look at my profile. So there is:
Gifts Won 49
Giveaways 57
So it is quite balanced :-)

P.S. I know that my profile says that GA's 58 but I was fresh o this site and make stupid giveaway with Metro (when it was free) from my brother :-/ still feel guilty for that.
