Default Re: Can one overcome a -EV game?

Suppose the Casino has a $1 billion dollar Bankroll. Suppose I have a 500 trillion dollar bank roll. Both a lot less than infinite. I bet my bankroll on the pass line of their dice table until one of us is broke. What is the probability that I break the Casino before they break me? I bet that is close enough to %100 in my favor as to be accepted as the expected result. For a bunch of mathematicians I don't understand how you guys cannot accept the power of large numbers. Don't forget the Casino has no Max on their bets so I just pick a number large enough in comparison to their bankroll that makes it a near certainty that I win. It doesn't have to be an infinite number. The casinos also know that there are people in this wolrd that have bankrolls that can cause extreme damage and even destroy them if they do not cap their bets.
