A simpler way to say this is you can have a correct bet and a bad outcome and an incorrect bet and a good outcome.

If I were to offer you $1 for heads and $3 for tails and you chose heads and lost, I’d win the bet but it’s still a bad bet.

Sounds like I was wrong for the wrong reasons too. (I lose the bet and it was a bad bet.)
