How are people tracking entries?
For the longest time for me it was Garys Mod, ended up just buying it! I'd say Poker Night at the Inventory was another until I won it! Contradiction never seemed to get any GA's so I bought that too.
Not indie but I've entered a lot of megatag blanc giveaways, I'd guess thats my current most entered but not won. I've won more than my fair share of amazing things to compensate.

For me, the answer is not so simple.
Yes, there are some games I try for, over and over, but most of those are AAA titles. Up until recently, I didn't even try for bundled games. I figured I could afford to buy them, myself, at a later date. The problem with that idea is that games in bundles are usually kept by the people who buy those bundles. I have an entire list of bundled games I have been unable to buy because they are either kept by the purchaser or dumped on SteamGifts (where I am unable to win them).
Here are a few of the games in which I have a high entry count:
More often than not, however, the reason I "cannot" win a particular game is because it is rarely (if ever) given away. This may be because people want to keep the copy they buy, or it may be because people have never heard of the game. For whatever, reason, you will almost never see a giveaway for these low-cost, high-quality games. Here is my list of games people should be giving away (but are not):
1,000 Heads Among the Trees (bundled, but only given away 157 times)
ACE Academy
Along the Edge
The Amber Throne
Armello
Arslan: The Warriors of Legend

Pyre
Quern - Undying Thoughts

The Song of Seven: Overture

I will! Also, have a blue heart for being nice enough to return the favor like that. :)

Go to your giveaways entered page, then click on the Search box and type in the name for which you wish to search (e.g. Stardew Valley). If you scroll to the bottom of the last page, you should see the count (e.g. Displaying 1 to 5 of 5 results).

Well, statistically, there's many, obviously. But a game that I really want to win (but haven't yet) would be: Joe Dever's Lone Wolf. That's really the main one that comes to mind, at the moment.

Well, this has turned into a fascinating exercise. And one that turned out surprising. A feel good topic this time.
I'd like to thank all of those that gave to others in this.

I haven't entered many giveaways, so these are the games I really want, and/or I would like to see more giveaways for in the future.

Of the ones I have been after lately:
The Witness (not sure if AAA) but I have been after that since before it was released!
Black Mesa (Friend is raving about it and was super excited to have got in the monthly)
Rebel Galaxy (After losing even in an almost every one wins giveaway, I assume this one is never meant to be)
Evoland II (Liked the first, have it on GOG, putting this in case Witness is AAA, never was good at differentiating these things!)
Honourable Mention
Endless Space (I am still mildly miffed that it is $1.49 here and that my account used to be in US funds, and was downverted in the conversion, so technically it is like I am paying $2 for it!... Mind you it is still worth $2...... and I think I will still buy it in the end as Green light will be gone before I end up saving up enough for it)

Says in the old AOL voice You have a friend invite.
Wow, something that I can give back now.

So i was reading all the responses and realized that there is huge gap between what people consider 'not winning' .
Some people added games from recent cheap bundles or/and heavily discounted games which are given away in huge numbers , which IMHO was the whole point of this thread. Others while not including AAA titles ( again it's hard to say what AAA even stands for these days ) includes games which had so few giveaways for them i dont even think they qualify at all and winning one is practically impossible.
Some even include titles i have seen 0 giveaways for . No wonder they cant win it:D

Actually, the point of this topic was genuine curiosity as to see what people are looking for.
Seeing people give to others was an unexpected surprise.
