From what I understand the chance of winning is very low, while you still pay for the bids. (bidding costs money, even if you don't win)

Also check out the wikipedia article:

its shady man. they charge by the bid and the bid price goes up. i have a feeling nobody wins they just generate a winners name or something. they will probably steal your paypal info also.

if you have firefox get the stumble upon tab, you can click a button for a review of the page your looking at, thumbs up or down plus a comment. lots of thumbs down on that one
