Best Answer

Use of with "possibility" this way:

Is there any possibility of you ensuring my place?

Note that you do not use the infinitive in this construction.

Note also that "to" is never used with "possibility," and "you" is never a preposition. I don't know where you got that notion.

You can use for, however, in a slightly different way:

Is it possible for you to ensure my place?

Observe that I changed possibility to possible for that to work well.

Full disclosure: It is possible to use to if you use it with possible, as in the sentence you are reading right now.
