I thow darts, but I’ve never heard of losing points in x01 game.

Anyhow, I need clarification on losing more points than have been earned.

For instance: first turn: 10 X X

is the minimum 0 or is this a -40 (+10, -20, -30)

incidentally, this would make the next turn advantageous if it is miss-miss-miss and back to 0.

The statement says:

If you miss three times in the same round, your whole total is reset at 0.
In other words X.X means -40 but XX. and .XX means -50 in the same round.

In your case, there are 2 misses in the same round, not 3, so the score is not reset to 0.
-40 looks correct to me.
