At the risk of taking too seriously a comment made in jest ... I don't see that infinite time implies infinite possibilities of events. I can imagine a universe that simply runs down and becomes static for ever. Not that I see this as a likely outcome. I'm attracted to the idea of recurrent big bang - expansion - contraction cycles. Even if your infinite events scenario is correct, why not infinitely varying life forms? There is no need for creatures just like us to occur again. And even if human beings exactly like us occurred infinitely many times in that infinite time, each occasion could still be in very different circumstances. Etc etc. These kinds of outcomes and probabilities are incalculable. You have to start thinking in more precise terms about infinity - countable vs noncountable infinity, for example. Another thought: Is the number of events occurring, say, on this planet, in, say, one second, infinite or not? I suspect that these concepts are not well defined.
