In gambling, the house always wins. Unless the house is the Washington, D.C., government.
Like a growing number of cities and states, Washington, D.C., allows sports betting. However, bets may only be placed within the confines of designated venues. The only means of placing a bet that is available districtwide is GambetDC, a website and app run by the D.C. Lottery. Reason's Jason Russell described GambetDC as "glitchy," with lower payouts than privately-run betting houses.
