Do I get the premise of the game right if I think you either lose all of your wager or get some random odds on it?

But with the house take at 1 %, isn't it a negative sum game and therefore impossible to beat in the long run?

And even if you could play it at fair odds, wouldn't the solution simply be the Kelly bet?

I'm struggling to see under what circumstances it is an interesting game to work, so I suspect I'm missing some important nuance.

Seems like bankrolling the bank, a feature they offer, is much more lucrative. Assuming they don't run away with your money.
