Bet your whole deposit on a single bet. Let's ignore the 3/2 payout for BJ and assume that I win 49% of the time (this MORE than accounts for the loss due to not being able to double or split)...

Actually it doesn't, that is the problem with your calculation.

That is not a big deal anyway. Bet half of your bankroll. Actually, I'm sure there is a spot between half and full bankroll that returns the highest EV, but none of this is really the point.

I think betting the full amount up front gives the greatest EV...it costs you in HA and thus %EV, but not in $EV.
