Hi folks! Can you help me?
We�re preparing a kind of "bol�o" for the World Cup 2010 in our languague school in Brazil - S�o Paulo.
How can we say "bol�o" in English?
Thanks a lot |

Vaferrer,
I have this offline dictionary (Babylon) and it brought me this to the word "bol�o":
"a pool of bets"
Maybe with this meaning in English you �ll find someone who knows the single word you are looking for, ok!
All the best! |

Yes I got �Ball � as in Cinderalla had to leave the ball by midnight.
Can you describe a bolao to us. It would help for the exact term.
it may be: festival, party, gala, ball, celebration amongst others.
I actually thought you meant a sweepstake, lottery or lucky draw. we often have those for prizes on the winner of the world cup. |

We always say we will have a �pool � for Saturday �s rugby.
Then you have to guess the score and team that is going to win. For every guess, you pay some money.
The one with the correct answer or closest wins the pool. |
