We came across an interesting interview with Jeff Ma, who you may recognize as a member of the infamous MIT blackjack team that the movie “21” was based off of. It is interesting to note that the main character was loosely based off of him, and was portrayed by a Caucasian actor. From there, Ma went on to co-founder a sports start-up, Citizen Sports, which Yahoo acquired this past March.

In this video interview, Ma discusses everything from blackjack, to the new Facebook movie (based on a book written by the same author who wrote Bringing Down The House, Ben Mezrich, whom Ma knows well), his Yahoo deal, as well as Ma’s own book, The House Advantage: Playing the Odds to Win Big In Business. It is definitely worth the watch for any of you interested in starting up your own business.
