If you like having a flutter then you'll love today's Word of the Day!
Quiniela is the lottery or a bet in which the bettor picks the first and second place finishers but can be in any order - similar to playing the pools.
It can also mean a betting slip, as well as a prize for betting. Let's see it used in a sentence:
-
Voy a echar la quiniela
I'm going to play the lottery
-
Crear nueva quiniela e invitar a amigos y colegas
Create a betting community and invite your friends and colleagues.
Pronunciation:
keeh-neeh-yeh-lah
