La quiniela

This is a really short post. La Quiniela is basically just a lottery game operated by the "Loterias y Apuestos del Estado" (National lottery and betting). Normally, you have to be 18 to do the lottery in España, but for some reason people don't care how old you are, so a lot of Spanish youth like to play this game.

This week's Quiniela for matches in the UEFA champions league. Basically, you predict which team will win( or tie). Usually, there are 10 matches from La Liga and 5 from Liga Adelante. The games for Liga Adelante make it way harder for people to win. Sometimes it can be so screwed up for example last week, Real Madrid tied against a Segunda B Division team!!

My friends play this game every week and have only won once (only 2 Euros) , which shows you how much luck you need for this...


Then, there is the other sports betting game that is popular as well. It is called Sportium and it is just a machine that you can find in bars.
