In the game of odds, a clearly odd call is a very serious argument/accusation. High-stake hold'em poker is a game of quick mathematics involved in calculation of probabilities with each new card and ability to read other players' tells on its opening. It is safe to assume that all players at that table are equally excellent at doing the former. Making low-probability high-stake bets at that table is very suspicious regardless of a player. It is not impossible, of course, but it is highly unlikely without cheating; especially, when cheating is possible and plausible.
Same comment regarding chess. With computers calculating perfect moves in milliseconds, transmitting a perfect move to a player is possible and plausible.
Just like the infamous LZR swimming suites, the right question should be: how to prevent this from happening again in honest competitions and not how to prove that the players in question have cheated, which is practically impossible without direct admission of guilt from them or their accomplices.
