      This would be impossible to calculate with the info you have provided.

      How many wagers?
      What is the price per wager?
      What are your odds of winning each wager?
      What percentage of your bankroll are you betting per wager?

      There are too many variables that play a major part in this scenario and due to variance you could likely only estimate within the parameters of a 95% confidence interval. This would be much easier to figure in a card game or roulette since the odds are fixed but due to fluctuations in sporting lines every bet you make is likely to have a varying edge.

      If you were truly interested you may want to google "Risk of ruin" and this may help you to figure out what the probability of you doubling your bankroll is before going broke.

        Not hard at all.

        Bet it all on one game and hope you win.
