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.
Read it in a day, it pulls you in and traps you in a mix of high tension, disbelief, and sadness.' Michael Foley 'Tony 10 is probably the most compelling read of the year, a chilling, jaw-dropping bruiser of a book.' The Irish Times'
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 'A spine-tingling tale, beautifully told.' The Irish Independent 'A brilliant, nerve-shredding account of one man's gambling addiction - and every word of it true. I highly recommend it.' Paul Howard 'A startling illustration of the silent devastation that gambling can inflict.' The Racing Post
