Wrongdoing found in records for bookies' income! (7)

I believe the answer is:
losings
'bookies' income' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to property as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'wrongdoing found in records' is the wordplay.
'wrongdoing' becomes 'sin' (sin is a kind of wrongdoing).
'found in' indicates putting letters inside.
'records' becomes 'logs' (logging is a kind of recording).
'sin' put into 'logs' is 'LOSINGS'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
