How do you end up quids in when value is deducted on entry to the
system?

Huh?

I buy a card for 3 quid + 1 quid value. Go through the gates to DLR or
NR station with no gates.
Come back the same way and touch out at my station. 8 quid gets
deducted so card goes
negative (gates always seem to let you out no matter how negative it
goes as long as its positive
to start with),

But at the time you touch out, the balance is -£3. (The 4 quid gets
deducted on entry, and refunded if you touch out correctly.)
