Let's call it "a win that was", or perhaps "a once and future win" instead of "a loss." Sounds grander, doesn't it?

Since we're doing semantics: I forgot to ask something yesterday. You nicely explained what an English gentlemouse means when they say they "quite like" something. Could you explain the difference between "I quite like having the win" and "I wouldn't mind having the win" please?
