RE: World cup sweep stakes 0.5sbd per ticket (half filled now)
According to wikipedia the wave started appearing at North American sporting events during the late 1970s and early 1980s, but there are disagreements. The first World Cup winner was Uruguay in 1930.
Sort of correct and world cup winner wrong not Uruguay. I will explain why later.
The winner of the 1908 Olympic games was Great Britain, but it is not a Soccer World Cup. You asked for the winner of the First World Cup and this name was coined by Jules Rimet to the 1930 Cup in Uruguay.
