Winning conjecture for badly approximable vectors on rational quadratic varieties

Let Xm(Z)X_m(\mathbb{Z}) denote the integral points on the rational quadratic variety of parameter mm, and let BAXψ(Xm(Z))BA_{\partial X}^{\psi}(X_m(\mathbb{Z})) be the set of points on X\partial X badly approximable with respect to Xm(Z)X_m(\mathbb{Z}) and approximation function ψ\psi. Set

ψ(t)=t1.\psi(t)=t^{-1}.

Winning conjecture. For every mQm\in\mathbb{Q}, the set BAXψ(Xm(Z))BA_{\partial X}^{\psi}(X_m(\mathbb{Z})) is a (strong) winning subset of X\partial X.

This conjecture predicts that the badly approximable set is large in the sense of Schmidt games, despite being a null set when m0m\ne 0. Theorem and an analogous example from the literature provide supporting evidence, but the conjecture is not resolved in the supplied text.
