Talking Bollox Podcast: Episode 75 w/ Tony O'Reilly

This is one of the most incredible stories we've heard yet, and the first time we have taken a deep dive into the world of problem gambling.
Tony stole €1.75m from his employer to fund a gambling habit that got so out of control he lost €10m in total, including almost half a million in just 12 hours.
This is a great insight into the grip gambling can take on people and how addicts can live a double life with what can be a totally secret addiction.

Tony 10 ….brilliant book

[@paulmcgrath6118]

Had 35 grand saved up in my saving in March 2020 , another 10 in my attic , another 5 in my current account and another 5 in my daughters accounts . I lost 12 grand in one week . Every penny gone over over over during the lockdown . Every now and then I go mad and place a fee hundred but mostly just drink these days . I don’t care what anyone else says , it’s an addiction: it’s absolutely horrible. Absolutely horrible and I never could talk to anyone about it . I lost 8 grand just on a Christmas Day and I walked into my parents house with a fake smile on my face just pretending everything was ok . I had to just smile and pretty everything was ok . I just wanted to cry to be honest

I heard you lads want to talk about conspiracy get in contact with me lads interview me

[@jameskelly8497]

Great guest, the opportunity was there for him to fund his habit and he took it with both hands. Would have been good to hear about his time in jail, hes not your average prisoner.

[@47antokenny]

This episode was so powerful, apart from the amount of money my story is almost identical, great to see him come out of it from the other side💪💪
