Suggestion: Adding additional points for higher chance

Closed

I think it would be a great idea to be able to put more points into a game that you really want to win.

Lets have an example: Assuming the giveaway winner is randomly selected and that there are 100 entries, a person's chance of winning is 1/100. If he really wants the game, he can put points into the giveaway again (eg: 60 points for 1 entry of Skyrim, 120 points for 2 entries, 180 points for 3 entries and so on) and thus increase his chances slightly like 2/101, 3/102.

This could increase the chance of a person winning a game, as well as prevent him from randomly placing points into games he doesn't really want just to keep the points count less than 300.

Yeah, but the point cap will still be 300, so people can't dump too many entries into it.

NO.

That ruins the fun of not winning a game you want. It would be unfair if 1 guy had 10 entries in a giveaway with 9 other entries, only because he kept his points.

I'd rather put spare points into earning badges for meaningless achievements ie 1000 points thrown away
