If the universe is completely non-deterministic with infinite random events happening, shouldn't the odds of my living in the specific sub-universe that appears fully deterministic be almost indistinguishable from zero?

As I said, I want to argue that the sizes of ordered and chaotic regions are of the same cardinality.

That's irrelevant. The density of ordered points within the region of possibilities is what is relevant, and that density is almost zero.
