The Price of Chance: Reflections with Pat Sheedy

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.


Now, Pat shares his incredible journey of addiction, crime, and ultimately, recovery, serving as a beacon of hope for those facing similar challenges. On this channel, you'll find interviews, book readings, and insights into Pat's life and work. Subscribe to join us on this inspiring journey of resilience and transformation. Together, let's explore the power of redemption and the possibility of reclaiming one's life, no matter how far down the road of addiction one may have traveled. #AddictionRecovery #Inspiration #Hope
