Nate Silver Day 7: Around the World (Cup) in 80 (Games)

Nate Silver has now wagered (or passed) on 80 world cup games (I ignored the 3-4 game in the 2014 world cup). In that time he has run his bankroll up from $100,000 to $1,485,883. All six of his current wagers are attempting to win more than his original bankroll. What a ride. Russia has continued to impress on home soil. Japan pulled off a nice win against 10 men. Senegal pulled off a surprisingly dominant upset against Poland. What has struck me is how few draws there have been. For Nate's sake I hope we see one tomorrow.
