Hello,

Talking about someone who compares the fact of getting what he wants or not to gambling is it correct to say:

"He sums up the whole event in a matter of win or loss." Is this correct English ??

See you

Yes, it is correct if he were summing up the event as a single win or a single loss. If it sounds weird, you may rewrite it as, "He sums up the whole event as a win or a loss." This statement conveys the same meaning.
