"If you are saying it is because they are only playing other players who also play like the bots,"
Yes, this is exactly my point (which is probably shared by more than just a few people).
"then I would be happy to wager any of these top players against anyone you can find that does not play like the bots, and of course, I would even give odds.
I don't know anyone who will make the same claims against humans as against bots because there is no way to guarantee that the humans will keep "playing like the bots" which is the key here.
In RGB, someone named "Michael" (who may be writing here also?) is trying to develop an encrypted dice rolling scheme to enable Murat to play against bots, without requiring personal presence and/or betting of money. Perhaps you can work out with them a money bet with or without requiring personal presence depending on other conditions.(?)
Another possibility may be to have human vs human bets, not only based on adjusted/spotted odds according to PR but also some sort of sliding scale adjustment to compensate if the human who is supposed to "play like the bots" starts deviating from it.
"There is another way to prove your theory. Have someone who does not play like the bot play many matches or games against the bot and have a winning record.
That's what I had provided links for previously but apparently you haven't looked at them either.(?)
Quite a few 100-game sessions seem to show a steady pattern/style of play and the two video captured ones are credible enough that they are not fabricated.
