There was at least one CYOA "competitor" series of books in which there was only a single ending in a book. And if you got to that ending, you won. Punishment for making a wrong choice involved simply being sent back to a page you had already seen. This was done in such a way that it made sense within the plot (such as going back to jail).
This always struck me as a much better way to implement a CYOA-style book: An implicit acknowledgement that you would just go back and try again if you made a wrong turn.
