Considering a house edge of 0.5%, and approx 6 hands a minute, and even if you played full time, that means 40 HOURS A WEEK!!, here is your expected loss. To not make matters complicated, I will not calculate the doubles and splits because of the little variation in 40 hours of play.

60*40*6*300*0.5%=21600$
Even if I double with the standard variation, which the chances are EXTREMELY low because of 40 hours a week making a somewhat long run, you would lose 43200$.
And dont forget, I calculated you played 300$ a hand FULL TIME, non-stop, betting 300$ hands after another.
I DO beleive you lost money though, but not near 50000$.
House edge is much higher unless you know exactly how to play. Also, ever heard of multiple hands or trolls?
