Local Blackjack O/U game beatable?

One of my local clubs run a blackjack o/u 13 6-deck game with special conditions and I am wondering if there is any real value in it. With real value I obviously mean if theres money to be made from it.
The rules are as follow: S17, double 7-11, DAS, aces are allowed to split once the rest an infinite amount, blackjack pays 3:2, if you bet under 13 and get two aces it pays 3:2, dealer wins at 17, 18, 19 push at 20, 21 and BJ.

Spread is only 3.5:1 from min to max bet.

Now this sounds like a bad game obviously. But let's get to the juicy parts. Like ive mentioned it is o/u.
Penetration is 100%. There is 0% heat. You can backcount, max bet all available slots if the count is good without any concern, etc, etc.

Is this game beatable without a ridicilous strategy like jumping in at extreme counts?
If so, any math wiz with some percentages on the situation?
Any help is deeply appreciated.

Best regards,
Chris

Are you saying that the player loses pushes w/ 17, 18 and 19? That rule is pretty bad.

Player loses 17-19 ties -5.30%

Exactly! Sorry for not being clear. Wow, it is that big of a disadvantage. That can't be made up with the great penetration, fact that it's o/u?

well the o/u 13 side bet is beatable I think although it would depend on the paytable and iirc requires a special count
