Frank, Ifin the absence of positive machines you would not play, the answer is you are likely able to play zero days, not an infinite number. You may never lose your bankroll in this situation and you may theoretically go a great number of days withoutplaying if that were the question, but I would have to consult an actuarial table to determine the likely number of days that you could go without playing. I suspect it would be a fair bit below infinity.
Happy to help with the higher math.

I'll answer this for myself: an infinite number of days, because in the absence of positive machines I would not play.
Yes you are correct it is a math question and one I'm ill-equipped to answer, since I only know positive expectation math. I'm sure one of our other regulars can answer your questions.
