There is never enough Portal.
Probably because there have been an influx of members on the site, I imagine a lot of people have it from the Holiday Gift Giveaway on Steam (I haven't seen stats, but I'd guess Half Life and Portal were probably the games you were most likely to get). So just maybe a lot of new people doing first time gifts? Could be wrong though!

does make too much sense, all i care about is its not a free game somewhere and people are manipulating it :P But im damn glad there are a ton i love portal

Towards the end of the holiday giveaway they increased the chances of getting Valve games and Portal was the most commonly received game

How many people wanna bet that I don't get Portal despite entering all the Portal giveaways?

Better question is why don't you own portal with a register date of November 25, 2010?

Poor guy, he even won it but didn't get that either. :(

You mean Steam registration date? I've only been on SteamGifts for a few months.
That said, I got on Steam only because a friend bought me Recettear via Steam. I was never really that interested in any of Valve's own offerings until TF2 became f2p last year (which I picked up wondering what all those memes were about), and then one of my friends started playing Portal 2 and replaying Portal recently.

I only ever knew of one that was before my time. When was the second one?

Second time was more or less hidden since it was made for the students that visited Valve. It was never announced on the front page.

Why is there a lot of portals? Good question. Probably because people bought the Valve Pack, Portal bundle, and Orange Box over the winter sale even though they own Portal giving the extra gift. It's a worthless copy.

With packs/bundles you do NOT get a giftable copy of a game if you already own it.

Valve packs is an exception.. at least to Half Life that I know of.
edit: above says other wise. I guess not.

I bought Portal Bundle(2 weeks ago) and got a giftable copy of Portal 1 because I already owned it.

it's pretty much an average of 1 in a 1000 chance to win, so don't be surprised at your win:loss ratio :P
as others say there's always points to spend on but i suggest giving the creator an option for a entry cap.
ex. contest will close at 600 users or 5 hours, whichever comes first.
