'A heart-stopping ride with a dangerous compulsion beyond control, Tony 10 is the story of the postman who stole EURO1.75 million from the local post office, where he was a branch manager, to fund a gambling addiction that began with a bet of EURO1 and ended with the loss of more than EURO10 million, his family, his home - and won him a prison sentence.

This book details everything from the terrifying moments in a hotel room in Cyprus with his wedding money riding on the Derby, to his disappearance on the morning his double life as a high-stakes gambler was discovered, the surreal three days spent on the run in Northern Ireland, and ultimately his arrest, conviction and sentencing to four years in jail. Tony 10 is the astonishing story of an ordinary man's journey from normality to catastrophe and finally redemption - as well as the most graphic account yet of the damage wrought by the online gambling industry. Tony O'Reilly is a former An Post branch manager originally from Carlow. After losing everything to a gambling addiction he resolved to put his experiences to good use
