Editorial follow-up: the nearly-won label can obscure the result
For a hypothetical all-or-nothing five-selection bet, four successful selections and one unsuccessful selection still fail the stated condition. Calling it a near win does not change the settled financial result. In a record, separate an emotional description from the amount staked and returned. Reviewing how close something felt should never replace recording what actually happened to the funds.
