With an infinite bankroll, after an infinite losing streak, your bankroll would still be the same --- infinity.

Right. And if you left the table a billion dollars richer, yippee!!!...oh wait, I still have an infinite bankroll. Doesn't even matter. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] Why am I wasting my time playing BJ anyway?

but you would never leave the table a billion dollars richer because you would only leave +1 unit.

No it dosent because there is always the possiblity of an inifinite losing streak. It is an insanely small possibility but it is possible.

so you think there's a difference between zero, and zero at the limit? go back to high school calculus.

however it is true that the EV is undefined, because you get really really big numbers multiplied by really really small numbers and it's an intractable calculation.

Does anyone have the distribution chart for the martingale system vs regular betting?

Here's the distribution starting with 255 units (from wizardofodds.com):

You're about the 20 millionth to think of it, and I could name the flaws in a row, about 15 of them. If you had $160,000 on the other hand, I could name 16 flaws.
