Risk of Ruin Given a Goal and Time Constraint (Double-Barrier)
This is called a double barrier formula and is found on Blackjack Attack
page 137. We are calculating the risk of bankruptcy before hitting a goal
or playing a number of hands. Here, you set a point at which you will stop
playing. The risk is lower than the calculator with no goal since you will
stop playing if you hit one of two quit points: Time or Goal.
