Yea, but the site was beaten by the whale. Measuring from the day the site climbed back into the black, it turned 1.356% profit (better than 1% expectation).

Period 1: 20 Jun through 04 Oct 2013
wagered: 3,940,640 BTC
profit: 525 BTC
BTC/USD: 105.85 to 120.66

Period 2: 05 Oct 2013 through 23 Jun  2014
wagered: 1,369,938 BTC
profit: 18,573 BTC
profit %: 1.356%
BTC/USD: 120.66 to 608.36

The investor who suffered through period one would have broken even would have done so while BTC was stable against the dollar.
The investor who capitalized on period two would have earned a healthy 1.356% while at the same the value of BTC relative to dollar went up 500%
