Hello! I'm looking for the translation for this Chinese idiom「願賭服輸」. I've looked it up and found "If it's laid, it's played", but I wondered if there's another way to translate it? Thank you.

Don't be a sore loser (after losing a bet/ competition/ contest/ game/ match/ race/ seat).

Charles Wang But what if it is said by the loser, to show he himself is someone able to admit his failure?

Jie-Yun Ling For such a guy I would say: he’s a good loser. I’m all ears to what Michael is going to say.

Charles Wang 一個願賭服輸的人 = a gracious loser

Charles Wang "a good loser" works too, but the word "good" can have many meanings; so it's better to be specific and say "a gracious loser" :)
