Я не могу проиграть.

In Russian, \"I cannot lose\" can be one of the following:

Ya ne mogu poteryat\' (if there is an object (a person or thing) to lose)
Ya ne mogu proigrat\' (suppose it is a game, and you must only win)
Ya dolzhen pobedit\' (means \"I must win\")

These are the meanings that I can think of immediately.

Best regards,
