does anyone know the reason for why the 1bn cap was placed onto matches in the bookies?
From the Bookie sticky thread...
04/12/12 - Bookie changes
We've added a $1 billion limit on bookie bets. This is so we can remove the limit on what kind of matches we can add to the bookie. Previously we were forced to use handicaps to limit a lot of games, now we can freely add matches of all odds. We've also added a clear notices on future handicapped games to avoid future confusion.

it'll also be to stop people accumulating exponential growth by placing hundreds of billions on 1.1* etc
