Generally, a black hole will be created when a star 3x (or higher) more massive than our Sun dies, it becomes a black hole. It can vary based on the environment around it and the very materials making up the star as it dies.

Will betelgeuse become a black hole?

Its quite possible that when Betelgeuse goes supernova (within a short "astronomical" time scale) that the remaining core will have enough mass to become a black hole. When it does, it will become the most studied "star" in our lifetime.
