I like to make bizarre raises for a few reasons.

Firstly I get bored. And secondly, I do it in an attempt to
distract the opposition. I doubt it has much of an effect, but if it does, good for me. What diffence does it make
if I bet 40000 or 40250? If I distract the villian for
a moment or he now pegs me as an idiot I have accomplished
something.

I've just started doing this myself. For the most part I am doing it from the stage of the tourney where I am steal-raising semi-frequently from late position, as shaving a fraction of a bet off of each my steals can add up over the course of a tournament. Additionally, it allows me to make slighly smaller continuation bets in the event that I am called.
