Default Re: Probability of going broke

jim,

the analysis you give is only for n bets. the real question is: what is the chance that you EVER go broke? that is, let n approach infinity. what is the chance that your bankroll is 0 or less at least once? that's a much harder question to answer. unfortunately, i don't remember the solution either.
