Tony 10: The Astonishing Story of the Postman who Gambled 10,000,000 and lost it all

English

By (author): Declan Lynch Tony O'Reilly

Tony 10 was the online betting username of Tony OReilly, the postman who became front-page news in 2011 after he stole 1.75 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 1 and eventually rose to 10 million, leading to the loss of his job, his family, his home and winning him a prison sentence. This is his story.
