Make sense?

No, because you don't lose the $50 you risked on the bet you won. You aren't "betting" $50... you are "risking" $50 in the event you lose. If you don't lose the bet, the risked money is moot whether it's a dollar or a million dollars.

In your example above if round 1-3 hits off of a $50 bet for $131 yes you'll deduct the $50 from the other bet that didn't hit, netting $81 but you don't deduct the $50 risked for the bet you won because you didn't lose what was risked.

If that were the case, any bet that paid out < 1 (such as .75 for example) would be a loss. You bet $100, win $75 for getting your bet right but then you still lose your $100 so your net is -$25? That would make no sense.

There have been plenty of times on here that I've bet a certain amount, say $10k for a winning profit of say $6k, for example. I didn't lose the $10k risked because I didn't lose that bet. If I did, I would net a negative amount which would be pointless.
