I would hope a couple of the sites out there would be willing to answer it

The 7-8% figure came from 2 seperate poker sites and was originally quoted by Jackpot Jay in an ESPN article.

I know, but the problem seems to be that people are arguing about what this figure does and does not include. Although the chances are low that a poker room would answer, I figured why does someone not just ask?
And even if people found out they were 1 in 10 or 1 in 20 or 1 in 5 of being a winner, the cynic in me does not think it would matter...you have people that cold call preflop with J/3o because its their lucky hand or they saw that it could have made a full house a couple hands ago. It would probably make little difference to them if they found out statistically they are a loser since they just don't realize they are since every now and then they win with crap.
