Regarding the trip to Vegas, it's worth pointing out that it's almost impossible to make money in the long-run playing tournament poker. The rake on those things is up to 10%. Add in the cost of travel, accommodation, hookers etc,


I hope you listened to the ex-hooker telling her story after the appearance of John O' Shea. If you didn't, perhaps you should. She has written a book on the subject.

Looked to me like he still has the "Head is shot" look going on and I imagine he will look back at the Golden Opportunity he had to set himself up for life with regret in years to come. I know I do and my figures would be just about 1/2 of his but thankfully I didn't tell the world and his mother about it like this fellow did.
I don't want to crab him as he is young but if he existed in the Racing Community someone would have had a quite word in his ear and told him to keep his business to himself. I fancy him to be a down and out in 10 years time to be honest

Having watched the documentary on Setanta,i have now formed a different opinion about this fellow. No doubt the piece on the Late Late showed him in an unfavourable light,but this documentary which was a hell of a lot longer was alot more favourable. Came across as not a bad fellow at all in fairness to him. Hes no dud either and i wouldnt be too worried about him long term,there is every chance he will be successful again at whatever he chooses to do. I was wondering about how he seemed to bet on lots of different sports,but he openly admits that he was only being guided by known winners which is a very understandable approach. I am always wary of people who seem to be experts on all sports/events,because it simply isnt possible to be an expert in more than 1 or 2(usually 1) areas. All in all i'd have to say that i was too judgemental on the guy and i could see him being back in the big time in next to no time.
