Here is my question, given infinite trials, you can make the trial sample large enough to make whatever outlandish odds actually become a favorite to happen.

Given enough trials, '1 in X', no matter how large, becomes a favorite to happen.

This is a mathematics beyond me (it doesn't take much anyway). Would you be kind enough to explain what you mean by a longshot becoming a favorite (if I understood it correctly)? Thanks.
