since they know the secret list ahead of time.
You are wrong again! It is impossible for the SatoshiDice to know a Transaction ID ahead of time.

Secret list! List! Not the transaction ID.

I swear it's like people keep repeating what others said instead of thinking for themselves.

This is troubling.  I'm not much of a gambler, and haven't ever played SatoshiDice, but someone bringing a casino to the Bitcoin community is really not doing their homework to not understand how SatoshiDice's hashing works and why knowing the secret list ahead of time isn't a problem if it's being hashed with the transaction ID.  The algorithm is too simple for someone willing to build a casino website to not understand, and the overconfident attitude is highly misplaced.  Sorry, but I must apply my stamp of disapproval to this one.

Just to make it clear, I have no interest in anything gambling-related whatsoever.
