Johnny won. The bet was he gets the golden fiddle or loses his soul. He got the fiddle.

If you meant the fact he did a deal in the first place, yeah, not a good look.

I mean, could the devil have actually won and handed him the fiddle as a gift, to confuse him into thinking he wouldn't burn in hell when he died? That way it comes as a fun surprise
