She posted on Reddit that she screwed up the wager.

She planned to bet enough to cover him if he bet everything. She crunched the numbers, but when she put her wager, she put how much she would have left if she got the cover bet wrong and added a dollar, instead of what the cover bet needed to be plus a dollar.

He had $15,700 going into FJ and she had $16,600. She needed to bet $14,800 to tie him if he doubled. That would have left her $1,800 if she was wrong. Her bet was $1,801 instead of $14,801.

She realized her mistake almost immediately after she locked in the wager, but it was too late.
