    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

        It’s an American tale of pure gumption winning out in the end. And of course it starts with greed. :)
