Tony 10

Descriere Tony 10

Tony 10 was the online betting username of Tony O'Reilly, the postman who became front-page news in 2011 after he stole EURO1.75 million from An Post while he was a branch manager in Gorey, Co. Wexford. He used the money to fund a gambling addiction that began with a bet of EURO1 and eventually rose to EURO10 million, leading to the loss of his job, his family, his home - and winning him a prison sentence. This is his story. \n \n \n \n `Remarkable.' The Sunday World \n \n \n \n `Incredible.' The Guardian \n \n \n \n `Read it in a day ... it pulls you in and traps you in a mix of high tension, disbelief, and sadness.' Michael Foley \n \n \n \n `Tony 10 is probably the most compelling read of the year ... a chilling, jaw-dropping bruiser of a book.' The Irish Times \n \n \n \n `Picked it up one Sunday morning and could not put it down - absolutely blew my doors off.' Paul Kimmage \n \n \n \n `Gripping and insightful. Easily one of the best non-fiction books of the year.' Hot Press \n \n \n \n `I cannot think of a more important book ever written on any aspect of Irish sport.' The Irish Examiner \n \n \n \n `There is more drama in Chapter 10 of this book alone than you'd find in an entire year's subscription to Netflix.' Brian Boyd \n \n \n \n `A spine-tingling tale, beautifully told.' The Irish Independent \n \n \n \n `A brilliant, nerve-shredding account of one man's gambling addiction - and every word of it true. I highly recommend it.' Paul Howard \n \n \n \n
