I've actually done the reverse - back when it was closed, I used to enter a lot of things that I would normally not play, with the view that I might as well try new things. Now that I've realised I'll be lucky to win once, I'm scaling back - I'd rather win something worthwhile than some random DLC.
When I think about it, even I can see that that makes no sense in a probability view, but such contradictions are part of life.

Well, if you enter only for games you want, if you win, you will surely win a game you want.
if you enter for games that you don't want, then even if you win, you actually didn't win anything.
So, in a probability view, if you enter for games that you don't want, you actually decrease you chance to win something.

Actually, probability doesn't work that way at all. At all. Just as the person replying to you stated. You shouldn't enter for games you wont play out of common decency, not to increase your chances because that doesn't work.

I do. Anything under 20p is worth for me, since i never won anything.

You can check my wishlist to see what games I want. I'm candid about that, and I don't mind. The vast majority of my entries are for games on that list.

OP is what is bad/wrong with this site. You are just blowing up the number of entries and making it harder for people who actually want to win games a chance to win then. :\ I only enter for games I actually want.

No, I'm not interested in winning games I'll never play and depriving someone else of the chance to play a game they'd enjoy.

I won't enter games that I know for a fact are crap (Duke Nukem Forever, anybody?), but I do enter in a lot of game giveaways that I know nothing about. It's a good way to find new games.

Nope, I only enter games that I would play. I usually only enter for games that have steam achievements too. I love steam achievements lol.

I try to only enter for things that interest me. Of course, I don't really blame you for doing it. I'd be lying if I said I've played much of what I've won. Mainly because what I've won has taken a back seat to bigger-named games that keep coming out.

I only enter for stuff I'd like to play. That rules out a lot of the smaller / indie games, because I either already have them, or I don't want them. I don't see this as a problem at all :)
