apuestas, propuestas (in your context) Explanation: Dany, I wouldn´t go for ofertas. Propuestas sounds less gambling-like than apuestas, and it would depend on the kind of entries. I would even think of "moción", if it is referring to different opinions. good luck! |

apuestas/polla Explanation: Hi Dany! The Oxford Superlex gives the following translation of "sweepstakes": ---------------- sweepstakes / "swi:psteIks /, (BrE) sweepstake / "swi:psteIk / n a (race) carrera en la que el ganador se lleva todas las apuestas b (lottery) apuesta f, polla f (AmL) ------------------------------------ I don't think your context is about a race, rather about placing bets. So I would go for "apuestas" (I'm not sure what the "polla" is). Hope this helps:-) terry Above |
