“You think you’ve won, do you?” is also correct in this context. It’s just a more rhetorical, dismissive writing of the sentence “Do you think you’ve won?”. [edit] ninja’d!
Either is fine, but they sound slightly different to my ear.
Hm. You’ve made me think. To me, “You think you’ve won, do you?” sounds slightly more threatening than “You think you’ve won, don’t you?”. Both imply “WELL YOU’RE WRONG,” but the former is more mocking while the latter is more interrogative. The first would be stressed heavily: “You think you’ve won, do you?” while the latter would be incredulous. “You really think you’ve won, don’t you?”
I believe it should be “Don’t you?”. And speaking of that, I don’t know how native English speakers can flawlessly, on the fly say a sentence that ends with the opposite of the verb they used at the start. If I don’t think the sentence through, then I fumble that every single time.
