Electronic residency helps by streamlining the emails that you send and thereby makes you faster.
The other companies just increase your knowledge and awareness of how the scramble match work.

The possibility to get matched during the scramble is slim for both IMGs and AMGs, last year the ratio was 1:12, one got matched out of 12 applicants!

And yes, you are right, AMGs have much higher chance than IMGs during the scramble and one of the reasons is that IMG friendly programs usually have no unfilled positions and therefore they don't go through the scramble.
