Just received news that J-D is closing down, can someone else confirm?
If so, this is truly the end of an era.

No, interesting list. But i think the snafu shouldnt really be part of it. The coins werent stolen. A roll-back means something different.
* It was an error
* No theft, nobody lost real 1300BTC
* You were honest and spoke with the shareholders
* The shareholders wanted it this way
So i dont see it justified being in this list. I might be wrong though about what happened.
1. You could say those coins were basically stolen, but have been subsequently lost: while the net difference was ~0, since they had been wagered the thief would "owe" the casino those coins.* It was an error
* No theft, nobody lost real 1300BTC
* You were honest and spoke with the shareholders
* The shareholders wanted it this way
So i dont see it justified being in this list. I might be wrong though about what happened.
2. This would only apply if "assuming the thief won instead of losing, he would have been able to withdraw".
3. But if he won he likely wouldn't have been able to withdraw more than the hot-wallet, since doog would have noticed something wrong before processing the withdrawal request.
4. But if (3) happened, this would have caused an even greater scandal for the casino, causing fear not to the investors (like it happened) but to the players, which is much worse.
5. So you could say that the actual amount stolen was "the hot wallet + the missed fees + the hipotetical damage caused in (4)".
6. Since the hipotetical damage is near-impossible to calculate, I'd go the easy route and just assume he stole the involved (1300 BTC) amount and be done with it.
One might think so but it runs under the premise Just-Dice scammed while in fact just-dice didnt do it. I lets JD look worse than it is. Its very different to "Labcoin scammed some thousand Bitcoins". But it looks the same in the list. One needs to learn the real things behind to justify it. But even then its a hypothetical loss only.
I only want to say that it looks like putting small timmy into jail to the murderers and thieves only because he forgot to do his homework in school.
That's because we had one huge whale and he kicked our asses... 
We did better once he stopped playing, it's true.

I am trying to guess how much you make on big bets from gamers other than nakowa,
Convention always say that casinos need whales to make a good profit. But that's not always true in B&M. Sometimes very homely little casinos with very loyal customers make superb profits.
That's profit as a percentage of the amount wagered?
I will use Profit/Wagered (P/W). In the first year there were 22 days with P/W over 7%, and only 9 with P/W under 7%.
The big money gaming days are prevalent, but not dominant. The date: Fri, Oct 4, 13 is when 'mechs' lost his 7000 BTC. None of them obviously seem like days Nakowa was playing.
Yet those 22 days add up to 18,515 BTC profit, which is almost as high as the total profit of the year at 18,940 BTC.

That is certainly an eye-opener, and puts a lot of doubt on the reliance of casinos on whales. You profitability is much higher in the latter part of the year, with much lower wagering.
That's because we had one huge whale and he kicked our asses...
We did better once he stopped playing, it's true.
Your return on any given day ranges from 18.73% to -12.60%
That's profit as a percentage of the amount wagered?
I try to use "return" to mean the profit as a percentage of the bankroll, because that's the return the people bankrolling the site get. If only 1 BTC is bet one day and the bet loses, that's a 100% profit in terms of the amount wagered, but approximately 0% return to the bankrollers. (100 * 1/50000 ~= 0)
There is now - I added 'site profit' to the 'wagered per day' report.

The "biggest bets" report now lists the individual biggest bets over various time periods too.
A pretty good week this week, returning 0.83% to anyone who was with us all week, and somehow holding on to 2.5% of the total amount wagered:

I wonder if there is a table with the amount of profit per day (like wagered per day). I would be curious to see how often gamblers lost 10% (even with small amounts).
There is now - I added 'site profit' to the 'wagered per day' report.
Let us take a look into the past of Just-Dice!

I'm torn. I want people to understand about probability and not be dumb about things, but I also want the site to be profitable.
I guess the traditional casino operator does everything he can to trick the player into playing. I don't want to be that guy.

The 1300 BTC snafu is the 26th biggest "incident" on the list.

I also liked the response to the people who assumed that you were nakowa. Basically your defenders said that dooglus isn't that dumb. If he were going to steal, he wouldn't do it by blatantly assaulting the bank.
Right, so at the next level up, it would make sense to be nakowa, because it's so obvious nobody would believe it!

I Google'd "nakowa" to see if it was an Australian name (sounds japanese to me, but you never know) so that I could make a terrible joke.
Instead I found it has made Urban Dictionary as multiple nouns, all based on the just-dice player.
That was a fun one
Sometimes you just read something that makes you smile a little hehe.
Soon I will be afraid of the N-Weapon
The Nakowa Bomb ^_^
