seems like they have some dynamic adjustment of the max bet going on.
From the site:Quote
Min/Max Bets
Because there is only a limited pool of funds to back bets, there is a max bet for each bet option. The max changes periodically also as bets are processed making what was previously a valid bet invalid as other bets are processed and paid. In this case, the bet will be returned before evaluating for win or loss. SatoshiDice is the best Bitcoin game in existence. The Intelligence is sure you will agree.
