The key difference: playing vs. betting

This is the part that trips people up: on 1V1, you're the one competing. You activate a challenge, tournament, or 1v1 wager and get paid based on your own performance. On 1v1me, you don't play: you pick a professional gamer, put up a stake, and win a share of the pot if that player wins. One rewards your skill; the other rewards your prediction.
