I deposited $50 USD on 5bills, played their 6-deck single-hand blackjack. Walked off with
2310. What are the odds, with a bankroll of $50, ending up with 2310?

I'm certainly hoping I don't run into any trouble with the casino. They might think I'm cheating with how lucky I got!

Assuming no house edge, the probability of reaching x with a bankroll of y is y/x. In this case 50/2310 = 2.16%.

came across this old thread. Is there a presumption here that the bets are parlayed?
