Worth a try though not sure it will work, basically if I get it right you think by creating a book where I note down all the profits and loos and then I basically arrange it as my account statement so I stay away from gambling maybe if I see i have incurred looses but what if I see that I have incurred profits, won't I be more eager to gamble more. It will work both ways and not only one way we see it. But will put this idea into implementation and see how this works out, if any one else is going to do it post your results.
