Do you mean a parlay bet or a bet with 3 possible outcomes?

If it's a parlay, you first lay bet A on betfair, wait for it to finish and if A won in betfair, you're good.  If A lost in betfair you then multiply your 100$ stake x 1.5 and lay bet B for 150 on betfair and so on.

If the games all finish at the same time, I do not believe it's possible to lay the bet correctly without losing money.

looking at the odds he postet, it's very unlikely that he is talking about one game wirh three possible outcomes. but you alrealdy explained how to him how to lay a surebet parlay, let's just hope he didn't make any mistakes yet  ;)

You cannot lay a parlay bet on betfair if the games do not end at different times.  You HAVE to select games that end a few hours before the next game starts for this to work. 

The betfair stake of game B depends on the outcome of game A.  If you won game A in betfair, your stake for game B will be 0 in betfair as you already lost the parlay in the soft bookie and made your profit in betfair.
