I entered a giveaway today for some DLC... and I was fairly certain that I had entered GAs for this particular title more than any other game or DLC. So I wanted to know if that was the case, and in fact how many GAs I had entered for this particular title. Now perhaps there is some tool that I am unaware of that would kick this out for me, but as a data jockey I just opted to slap all of my entries into Excel and run a pivot against it...

I did confirm that the DLC Total War: Rome II - Caesar in Gaul Campaign Pack is, in fact, the one title I have entered the most GAs for. So then I had to take it a step farther and get a rough estimate of how many points I had devoted to my top ten most entered game giveaways...

So here they be...

Game Given Away Number of Personal Entries Estimated Points Spent
Total War: ROME II - Caesar in Gaul Campaign Pack 87 1,305
Lichdom: Battlemage 64 2,560
GRID™ 62 930
Dungeon Defenders Collection (Summer-Winter 2012) 55 2,750
Rocket League® 53 1,060
Lost Planet 3 - Complete 44 1,760
Killer is Dead - Nightmare Edition 38 760
Don't Starve Together 37 555
FINAL FANTASY® XIII-2 36 720
Totals 517 14,040

Did I win any of them? Of course not, this site is sc....
:D

What game(s) do you think you have entered for more than any other?

I'm pretty sure that my most entered game is Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers at 157 entries. I scanned all my entries and there was at least one (often more) all the way since the start.

Nova-111 (which I won this month) - 153
FORCED: Slightly Better Edition - 150
Door Kickers - 133
Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure - 117
are also up there. :)

To name just a few that I see currently on my wishlist tab (that I haven't won):

302 Realms of Arkania (x15=4530) I'm honestly suprised it being that high, since most of its GAs are about 300 entries. A rather unknown RPG I wanted to try.
255 Postal (x5=1275) I missed it being in the GMG bundle for 0,5$ which had four other games, too. Probably just going to buy the upcoming remastered version.
228 Depth Hunter 2 (x15=3420) One of the few GAs I'm joining since I registered here. Already has nostalgic value to me.
160 Dead Space (x20=3200) It's cut in my country, and I'd totally start playing it again when I'll ever win.
152 Paranautical Activity(x10=1520) Some indie game I put on my WL because it looked cool. Has been bundled so often already.
150 Awesomenauts (x10=1500) Same as above.
150 Rune Classic (x10=1500) Some old-school RPG, I always wanted to give a try.
147 Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (x15=2205) Have it on DVD, but winning it would probably motivate me to play this awesome game once more.
147 Darksiders (x20=2940) Almost bought it together with Darksiders 2, but I'd rather want to win it already.
124 Remember Me (x30=3720) Always have to read the descriptions for its GAs, since some are region-restricted... annoying.
116 Tomb Raider (x20=2320) Was just 1$ during some promotional donation thingy. Missed it, am mad.
115 Garry's Mod (x10=1150) Guess I'll just spend the 2,5$ in the summer sale to get over it.
105 Bermuda (x3=315) Stopped entering those when I realized that it's not that cool. Was more of a "poing gap filler" all the time.
96 FEZ (x10=960) Indie game I liked, has been bundled so often...
93 Castle Crashers (x15=1395) I want it for the coop action, but there's no more bundles with it. Argh.
92 Killing Floor (x20=1840) Low violence cut version when buying in steam store, so I HAVE to win/trade it.

==>
2282 entries total
33790 points total

Considering that I spend 300 points once a day when I log, that's 112 days of entering giveaways without winning any of those. SCAM! :D

/edit Analyzing this was fun. Should reorganize my wishlist more often to stop joining GAs I don't want too much. But steam won't let me remove games from it, or I'm too lazy to find out...
/edit2 Just checked and I have 16,646 entries since I joined, so those games above make almost 14% of all my entered GAs. Wow.

Games can only be removed from your wishlist through the Steam app, not through the browser.
(Yes, it sucks, but that's Steam for ya.)

you can remove wishlisted games from the wishlist page on any browser, or from the store if you install enhanced steam (chrome) or supersteam (firefox).

if you have enhanced steam on firefox, it will break your wishlist page. it's not updated any more

I've got Enhanced Steam on Firefox, which is why it won't work for me.

Bought it for myself.

First you go here and then count them. If you are into Excel, I used AdmiralP's method for counting.

If I had to guess (not sure how to be fancy with excel.. ; A ;), it would have to be Life Is Strange (first episode) with 268 tries before I ended up just buying the $1 tier.
Oh! Actually it was Frozen Synapse Prime. Ended up winning it on my 333rd try.

Wow, I can't come close to some of these. I believe my current record resides with Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light at 129 tries without any luck.

Shadow of Mordor, Grim Fandango and Broken Age I feel like I've entered the most for but I'm probably wrong. Most likely it's for some game from a Humble Bundle.

Apparently I was way of, my most entered game is Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered with 56 entries (never won it, but I got it from Tremor Games). Followed by Star Wars: Dark Forces II with 46 entries (which I did win). All my other popular entries seem to weirdly be around 20 entries.
