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. 'Remarkable.' The Sunday World
'Incredible.' The Guardian '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 'Picked it up one Sunday morning and could not put it down -
absolutely blew my doors off.' Paul Kimmage 'Gripping and
insightful. Easily one of the best non-fiction books of the year.'
Hot Press 'I cannot think of a more important book ever written on
any aspect of Irish sport.' The Irish Examiner '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 'A stupendous piece of work.' The Sunday
Independent
