question for math guys

[Vegas Vic]

The reason why many advantage players play long hours is because they make MORE money by playing more. It has nothing to do with something called the "long term". It's like working a job at $50/hour ... the more hours you put in the more money you make.

Help me out here (if you can without insulting me): doesn't "playing more" get you just that much closer to "over time"? If the math of "over time" gets you to the expected EV (which is most likely a negative expectation), wouldn't players be losing money by playing longer?

If indeed playing more has nothing to do with the math of the game (which says I will inevitably lose), please, please, let me know when the math will kick in so that I will know that I've entered the Over Time Zone and the game at that point is no longer in my favor.
