Obviously there are limits, but what makes you think Micon couldn't cover any reasonable sized bet, either on his own or through a network of well financed gamblers?

Obviously there are limits when the man just stated he will take a bet OF ANY SIZE? 

I swear the IQ on this forum drops daily.  Just make up your own reality.....

Yes. In normal conversation often things are said that have to be clarified later as terms are firmed up.

If you were get custom cabinets made and the cabinet maker said he could make them whatever size you wanted, would you berate him because he can't make you cabinets the size a the Bohr radius or an AU wide?

Not even comparable.  There is no phyisical limit on the size of a bet. 

Cabinets are not exponentially scaleable.  Betting is. 

I can bet 10 BTC, 100, 10000, or 10000.....the last bet being 1,000X the first.  I cannot have cabinets made that are 1,000X the size of average cabinets. 

The only clear limit on this bet is the total BTC in circulation.  We all know Micon does not control even a sizeable fraction of that, and thus is willing to bet with money he does not have.  It's bush league and something that is simply not acceptable.
