The Price of Chance: Reflections with Pat Sheedy

Pat Sheedy, author of 'A Hundred to One: The gripping true story of a compulsive gambler.' Born and raised in Limerick, Pat's life took a tumultuous turn at the age of 12 when he placed his first bet, setting off a chain of events that led to close to one hundred criminal convictions and a million euros lost to gambling. Despite his struggles, Pat found redemption through a creative writing degree obtained during his time in prison and has since won the short-story prize at the Listowel Writers' Week two years in a row.
