I did not talk about you personally.
I said that I did not understand what you want because your post was not
clear for me.

Here is your post again with some comments to explain what is not clear.

Infinite number of games can get more than one meaning.

It can be countable number of games that means the number of games is the same
as the natural numbers and it can be non countable number of games(for example
number of games that is the same as the number of the real numbers).

If you take countable number of games there will be 0 number of infinite games
with probability 1.

If you take non countable number of games than I cannot say it.

I am not going to prove these claims here and I assume that they are clear for
everyone who knows mathematics

It seems that part of your "." are not the end of the sentence.
