What is a Bounce Rate?
According to Wikipedia:
Bounce rate (sometimes confused with exit rate)[1] is an Internet marketing term used in web traffic analysis. It represents the percentage of visitors who enter the site and "bounce" (leave the site) rather than continue viewing other pages within the same site.
Bounce rate is a measure of the effectiveness of a website in encouraging visitors to continue with their visit. It is expressed as a percentage and represents the proportion of visits that end on the first page of the website that the visitor sees
I don't know if you've ever visited Just-Dice. It's a single page, which interacts with the use using node.js' socket.io package.
I'm surprised the bounce rate isn't much closer to 100%, since there aren't really any other "pages" other than a couple of boring plain-text stats pages, like
https://just-dice.com/biggest.txt for instance.
Speaking of which, did you see that page recently?

Our biggest player, LiKaShing, who I gave the userid 1337, lost 2,190 BTC to the site yesterday in a frantic couple of hours' play.
Those poor investors, eh? Someone should save them.
Now of course you're going to say that that was me losing, that I'm giving back some of the coins I stole because you're on to my little scam. But that's the problem with paranoia; everything that happens can be viewed as further evidence for your theory. If he had won a bunch more, that's me stealing. When he loses a bunch, that's me covering my tracks. I deal with people like you in the on-site chat regularly.

So that is 168 minutes per user multiplied by 50,000 equals 840,000 minutes spent on the site. 532 million divided by 840,000 equals 633 bets per minute per visitor.
Are you ready to tell the truth yet?
Yes, I'm always ready to tell the truth. What do you want to know?
You've given me some web traffic statistics which may or may not be accurate. I don't keep track of visitor numbers or how long they stay on the page because I just don't care. I have counted unique hits in the past when people have asked for the data, usually because they are thinking of buying ad space. As I remember it I think we were getting something like 1500 unique IPs hitting the site per day the last time I looked.
633 bets per minute per visitor seems very unlikely, so either your data are wrong or your calculations are. Maybe both. I expect one source of error is that Alexa can't tell how long most people spend on the site. They can only spy on people who are foolish enough to have installed their spying software (or "toolbar") which probably isn't most Bitcoin users who tend to be more careful about what kinds of crap they install. Otherwise they don't tend to keep their coins for long.

I can tell you how much financial investment went into the site. Approximately $0. I wrote all the code myself, spent nothing on advertising, bought the best available domain name I could find ($10/year) and used the cheapest hosting I could find. You'll notice the site is very plain, lacking even a logo.
I can afford to buy an expensive domain name, especially if I steal investor funds to do so. Would that make the place more trustworthy in your view?
