What is the correct interpretation of the Gambling Results table in Xanathar's Guide to Everything?

$begingroup$


In Xanathar's Guide to Everything, one of the downtime options provided in "Downtime, Revised" allows a character to gamble during their downtime to earn extra money.




Gambling



Games of chance are a way to make a fortune—and perhaps a better way to lose one.



[...]



Gambling Results
begin{array}{|l|l|}
hline
text{Result} & text{Value} \ hline
text{0 Successes} & text{Lose all the money you bet, and accrue a debt equal to that amount.} \ hline
text{1 Success} & text{Lose half the money you bet.} \ hline
text{2 Successes} & text{Gain the amount you bet plus half again more.} \ hline
text{3 Successes} & text{Gain double the amount you bet.} \ hline
end{array}



—Xanathar's Guide to Everything, pg. 130




So if I place a bet of 100gp and make my checks against this table, how much would I have, for each category?
