He hit a six-leg parlay at 13 years old and thought he’d found the cheat code to life. Instead, it became a death sentence for his finances, his mental health, and nearly his family.
In this episode of the One Day at a Time Gambling Addiction Podcast, Uri shares how a “fun” high school habit in Canada turned into years of chasing parlays, live-betting every game, and eventually losing and winning six figures in a single night on online blackjack and slots. He talks about VIP treatment from DraftKings and FanDuel, free $5,000 reloads every Monday, and what it’s really like to be gambling in the shower, on the highway, and every spare second of the day. Uri also opens up about the moment he knew he couldn’t keep going: maxed-out cards, broken promises to his wife, screaming at his kids after all-night gambling sessions, and the crushing shame of watching his family suffer while he kept chasing losses. He walks us through coming clean to his wife, inpatient rehab, outpatient treatment at Right Choice Recovery in New Jersey, going to his first Gamblers Anonymous meeting, and why deleting the apps, installing blocking software, and self-excluding were non-negotiable steps in his recovery. If you’re struggling with sports betting, online casino, or slots, this story is for you. You are not alone, there is real help out there, and life can get better one day at a time. ⸻
