If the SB can detect cards you already own (as some have suggested), there could be streaks for both bot and alt but the odds might still not be 50/50 for each individual. That would still cancel out since the initial differentiator (before checking cyberdex) would HAVE to be 50/50 and therefore cancel out, i.e. the same number of players that are locked into bots would also be locked into alts.

In any case, the bulk analysis of the various outcomes should be accurate in determining the relative percentages. I will start a thread for tracking numbers without any discussion, just straight numbers, for THIS EVENT ONLY. I will do that at the end of the event so that people only post once, and not multiple times each time they go to the bridge. I urge EVERYONE to post their results at the end of this event as just a list of what was received during the whole event. That should give us decent numbers.

Also, I think there is enough evidence to be reasonably sure that the cyberdex is NOT checked since many people report getting almost even numbers of bots and alts overall, which would violate that hypothesis since it should be very rare to beat the odds that many times (kind of the inverse of a streak).
