“Maybe you’re right. But, hey, a win is a win is a win."
This sentence is a quote in the book I'm currently reading, should I list it in the errors as a typo or not? As I have read previously that the quote errors should be ignored.

You should consider listing it as uncounted error though it is optional. Do not forget that uncounted errors are not counted. Make sure to add every detail of the sentence you are picking out your errors from.

Ignore that one. Can't see any error there.

I think it should be "a win is a win", repeated only twice, not three times.

This was likely intentional. Not an error. At most you should mark it as “not counted.”

It could be that they are trying to emphasize the matter by repetition. I don't think that is necesseraliy an error.

It seems like "a win is a win." would be correct to me.

A win is a win, no doubt.

A win is A win I think it would be better to be used.

It was repeated intentionally to make a point. It is also a quote from someone speaking. Do not list it as an error.
