"Winning" and "being right" are different concepts. That is the point of distinguishing between epistemic and instrumental rationality.
Actually the problem is an ambiguity in "right" -- you can take the "right" course of action (instrumental rationality, or ethics), or you can have "right" belief (epistemic rationality).
