Book Description
Tony 10 was the online betting username of Tony O'Reilly, 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. 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. From the heart-stopping moments in a hotel room in Cyprus with his wedding money riding on the Epsom Derby, to the euphoria of winning half a million over a weekend, to the late goals and the horses falling at the last fence, Tony 10 is the story of an ordinary man's journey from normality to catastrophe. At times, he vowed to get out while he was ahead, only to be taken by another surge of adrenaline, falling deeper and deeper into a compulsion that consumed his life. His disappearance on the morning the fraud was discovered led to a surreal three days on the run in Northern Ireland, and ultimately his arrest, conviction and sentencing to four years in jail. Tony 10 is the mesmerising story of the secret life of a pathological gambler – as well as the most compelling account yet of the damage wrought by the online gambling industry.

Book Description
This is a Special Edition signed copy by the author. "Lakota Wisdom" is a beautiful creation of ancient and current wisdom, brought to us through the heart and soul of the author. Through our lives, we tend to take so much for granted of what the Earth and Nature gives us. We forget about the humility of life, as well as the importance of being one with all things. We structure our lives to be lived as a race, rather than to simply be lived in grace. This literary work is so much more than a series of sayings and quotes; it is a map to a more positive, humble, creative and loving way of living life.
