I think everyone has seen it once, maybe you do it yourself!
Betting 64 instead 60, 71 instead of 70,
Why do some people never raise with 1 - 1.5 - 2 - 2.5 - 3 * the blinds like normal people ? :p anyone knows this?

I think it really is a mind game. Betting standard multiples is just that, standard, and almost subconciously I think throwing a wierd looking bet throws a sort of curve out there. That, and perhaps the player has a specific reason they don't want to bet x amount. Perhaps they feel 3 times is too much and 2.5 times is not enough and so they choose an amount in between.

I think i get it, but i dont think they will work on low stakes Mtt's and SnG's though.. fish call everything whatever the bet is .. before i read the thread i would say to it is to prevent normal betting paterns .. but yeah i think its still weird :p
