Why not?
Are you saying that Josh User 96179 is not normal?
Glad I reduced my gameload as I must now be classed as normal lol

Suppose that I will win all the games that I played, how many games will it take to up my rating to 1800? My current rating is 1357.

How would you know?

So you want to reach 1800, that is a good goal and in order to get there you should probably play against opposition that is on average 1800 (say 1700-1900).
How many games would you need to get there?

[ game number, your r, opp r, score and rating change ]
If my calculations are correct you'd need only 19 games (btw, you'd need only 15 wins against 2200-players or 30 against opposition of 1600).
The problem here is that in order to win 19 games in the row your playing strenght should be around 2300. More realistic is that you've turned into a 1800-player over night and your estimated to score 50% against someone of your own stregth. Then getting your rating to 1800 would require in fact 62 games.
Still, I'd aim first a bit lower, say 1600 and to get there play games against people who are on average at that level.
Good luck,
