The question is WILL it happen?

given time and flezz

Given an infinite number of attempts at gambling, and given that you are allowed to go into ‘debt’ (meaning that you start at zero flezz, and can go up or down) then because in an infinite sequence of bets you will eventually encounter a sufficiently long sequence of winning bets to overcome all previous losses, then the answer is YES, not only can it happen, but it will happen.

Infinity plays a lot of havoc on probabilities. If you flip a coin an infinite number of times, then you will end up flipping it heads for any number of times in a row that you can name, and you will also end up flipping it tails for any number of times in a row that you can name. So, would you at some point have 1,000,000,000 wins in a row during an infinite sequence?

Of course. That’s what infinite means. It also means that at some point, such a winning streak will occur when you are back at ‘zero’.
