Not if you're in a position like me where I wouldn't be able to afford the games even with the coupons (and I'd rather take my chances with the giveaway than hoping to get a random game).

odds of winning the big giveaway: <2000 out of several million(minimum).
odds of crafting a random game: no clue, but it's gotta be >1%

This. What people do is create alt accounts using humble bundle keys and farm the easy objectives, trading the goods to the main account. Just think, even a couple of dollars could get you hundreds of alt accounts and gifts.

I thought crafting 7 coal was guaranteed to be a gift. It says on Steam: "Seven pieces of coal can be crafted into a gift from the Great Gift Pile. Don't worry, you won't get coal again". They really should specify that the "gift" can also be a coupon.

Well think about it: doing the achievements gets you a "gift" and that gift can be a coupon. What makes you think that the gift from crafting couldn't be a coupon?

It's just that the name gift implies a gift, and not a little discount on some random game. Also, the way they say "Don't worry, you won't get coal again". It's true that they don't say you will not get coupons, but I would be more worried about getting these coupons than getting a piece of coal.

Doesn't really make sense, does it? If you can afford a game why would you bet one copy just for a chance to get a different one?

it's free in the sense that it's given to us without charge. but we actually have to work (earn achievements) to get the coal. it doesn't just appear in our inventories out of nowhere.

Good point. You are totally right. However, the amount of work needed for one gift is pretty small.

I'll fill a formal complain against Steamgifts. How come that I have to click a lot to enter free giveaways and BESIDES THAT there's a great chance to lose the raffle.

Outrageous!!!

Load up one of these games, Spiral Knights, Team Fortress 2, or Portal 2. Now wait in the main menu of the game for about 30 seconds. Exit the game and check your inventory. You should now see your items! Remember you only to load ONE of those 3 games! And 2 of them are free to play!

I suspect the odds are still far far greater that you'll win a game that way then it of your winning anything in the grand prize draw had you kept them.

I got magic 2012, so it just depends on if its worth it. The chances of getting the winning prizes are slim, but it's whatever you wanna do. I'm probably going to craft all that I can and at the end I'll still have 1 or 2 left over so I can stay in the giveaway.

What the hell is the point in giving some useless vouchers you can't even use now? And besides the sale offers much better discounts.
Even some stuffs like DLC is better than voucher.

Because when you can use them, they won't be useless vouchers. Now, if there is a sale of the games during the time the coupon is active, you can get even more savings. Nothing useless about it.

ATM, 1 coal is about $1~. Just choose a game, over pay 1 coal; And people will buy the game you want for the coal. Far more worth it compared to the "hope I get lucky" random shit.
