How many split pot games end up being won by a single hand (because either someone has a two-way hand or no one has a hand that qualifies for one direction)?

PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME TO SPECIFY ANY MORE PARAMATERS THAN I HAVE GIVEN. YOU TELL ME HOW IT WORKS OUT FOR WHATEVER LIMITS, QUALIFIERS, NUMBER OF PLAYERS, ETC..

If I didnt double count some cards, there is no qualifying BOARD in Omaha 8 46% of the time. Add in hands where there is a qualifying board but all of the low hands are counterfeited (presumably rare except in shorthanded games) maybe 1/2 of Omaha 8 games are high only. Wheels and other low straights seem to win high a reasonable amount of the time, plus the flushes and paired or sets of A's would seem to add another 10%-15% of the hands scooped in big games, maybe as much as 25% in shorthanded games, makes me think that 60-75% of Omaha 8 games are one winner.
