Anyone know the approximate % of going broke playing perfect strategy blackjack when you have a balance of B dollars and make bets of B/X?

thanks

edit: Assume a .5% house advantage. We can say a (B/X)*Y wagering requirement. Odds of getting broke before finishing the wagering requirement.

I don't know the answer to this, but the answer will depend on rules in the game you are playing, and which counting system you are using.

If you aren't using a good counting system in addition to perfect basic strategy, it doesn't matter how large your bankroll is, it is 100% certain that you would go broke eventually.
