Hi,

you can do so using the `selector` argument of `figure.update_traces()`

```python
fig.update_traces({'opacity': 0.5}, selector={'name': 'won'})
fig.update_traces({'opacity': 1.0}, selector={'name': 'lost'})

```

You could even change the size or marker color the same way:

```python
fig.update_traces({'opacity': 0.5}, selector={'name': 'won'})
fig.update_traces({'opacity': 1.0, 'marker':{'color':'blue','size':10}}, selector={'name': 'lost'})

```
