So in real-world, the gambler would owe all the money in the world at some point. But also win all the money in the world at another point! And then cash out and he wins? Sounds beatable.

The gambler will owe all the money (and then some) with probability 1 a.s., but it's not guaranteed to happen because a.s. implies it's not a certainty.
