Addiction
Addiction is generally a certain pattern of behaviour marked by a irresistible, growing desire to achieve a specific feeling or state. The aim of addictive behaviour is either to produce pleasure and/or prevent displeasure (restlessness, sadness, anger, etc). Addiction is caused by a number of colluding factors: individual, society and the addictive drug.
Generally, anyone can become addicted. As addiction is not limited to specific substances, every form of human behaviour may evolve into an addiction (e.g. alcoholism, anorexia, workaholism, gaming addiction, shopping addiction).

American betting methods
While in European betting a bet on draw is often related to high odds, in American betting a draw is regarded as "no action" - i.e. as if the game had not taken place. For this reason a draw is rated at odds of 1.0 and your stake is returned and credited to your betting account. Please note: In American sports the visiting team is usually always named first.
