A lot of the major sites now use lottery systems. You have 10 minutes to enter the lottery and your enter time doesn't affect outcome. You could fiddle with % by having multiple entries, but you'd need a unique credit card per entry.

I'm pretty big into sneakers and have found the bot game to be really interesting, and how companies are fighting it by removing "first-come first-served" is a rational response.
